Do you want to get married?

whiteboy

If not why and to those who are married how happy are you that you did?

Also if you want to get married would you like to have a civil or religious wedding?

Naikon

No. What is the point?

Wolfe Tone

Yeah I would like to get married one day to a nice woman in a catholic ceremony in a nice, old church with family and friends there.

A traditional wedding

Why are you offering?

MY EYES! IT BURNS!

I've often thought about this. I'm only a child myself (15) but I really think I'd like to have a significant other in my life at some stage.

I'm not sure that I'd like to have kids though. However not having kids means your life's work ultimately passes into the hands of a niece or nephew or other not-so-close family member.

Mine would be a religious wedding. Mainly because my parents have inculcated a feeling of disgrace about all things secular.

Married twice. Better second time around on every score.

Shockin'! My friend wants to get married in the Belle dress. :eek:

It wasn't me!

Only to someone old, frail and stupidly wealthy, well disposed to leaving everything to me.

I know women who would think this was showing a marked lack of ambition in life.

Yes. No. Maybe. I dont know. Can you repeat the question?

Sweet Jebus I was not having these thoughts when I was 15.

Come to think of it - I'm not having these thoughts now and I'm more than twice your age!

I'd love to get married some day

probably won't be getting married any time soon though... damn lack of marriage equality :mad:

Kojak

No, can never see myself getting married.

Its only a scam anyways to try to get money from a divorce

knifeyspoony

I wouldnt mind getting married some day but only if i was very sure abouth the person, have been engaged before and realised that you might not know the person as well as you thought you did.
i wouldnt be bothered if i never got married though. To be honest I think having children is a far bigger commitment to someone. At the end of the day if the person cheats on you, you can divorce but Children are for life. Which is why i dont want any

Tesco Massacre

For the right woman, yeah, I would. I was dead set against it when I was in my early/mid 20s, but as I've gotten a bit older I've found I'm not as averse to the idea as I once was.

I'd still be dead set against paying huge sums for the day itself, though. I know couples who've spent way beyond their means for the ceremony/reception. It seems crazy to me.

And no religious sh*t....unless it's Rosario Dawson and she's into that sort of thing.

Richard Hillman

No way. I would never sign away my personal and financial sovereignty for a woman to have HER big day

Killer Pigeon

I want to get married in a registry office for the financial benefits, that's all. No big ceremony, just ten minutes, over and done with and paper work signed. I'd make sure that a prenuptial agreement was signed beforehand just in case we divorce. If there were no financial benefits to marriage, I wouldn't get married at all.

Emiko

There's no harm taking vows with somebody, and trying to live up to those vows, but I don't see any need for an official wedding.

pow wow

If a green card was thrown in to sweeten the deal then yeah, probably.

apparently the proper way to do it in the catholic church is for the bride and groom to walk up the aisle together the giving away thing only came about in the early 1800's

Oh and to answer you Op, yes I would like to get married at some stage, cant see myself having a big one tho, dont like being the centre of attention

fat__tony

In the ideal world, yes I do.

In reality, this is unlikely to happen for a number of reasons.

Darkginger

Ben married (second marriage) for 9 years now, and it's wonderful - truly wonderful Sorry about that, but it is - my husband's my best friend (no kids, didn't want them) and I wouldn't want to think about life without him. Marriage to the right person is great, marriage to the wrong person can be hell.

Don't really see the point of it but at some point down the line in my 30's, I'll probably marry an Asian girl so will have to get married.

Siuin

As someone who's in a relationship with a guy whose mom has been married and divorced twice already, it's a hard sell :S But really, I don't think I'm missing out on anything. Rather he'd be with me because he loves me rather than because a piece of paper is forcing him to.

You're basing his ability to commit on his Mother's?

Really?

No no no, I mean that because of his mom's crap experiences he doesn't want to get married - at all. Can't blame him.

Rachiee

yes I dream of getting married, i'd love to. yes the day and dress will be fun but its not about that

whats the point?

The point is making a declaration that you love eachother so much you now consider yourselves a family and would like to be treated as such by your family, friends and the state.

My parents have been happily married for 36 years and id love what they had.

It would definately be a civil marriage as i'm not religious, and i think its extremely disrespectful to take a religious sacrament that you dont believe in.

I wouldnt worry aboout people thinking ive a lack of life ambition just because i ultimately want to get married I want to do a lot of things in life getting married just happens to be one of them, and at the end of the day I really doubt most people lie on their death beds wishing they worked more.

In theory I love the idea of walking down the aisle with my Dad to marry the man I love, surrounded by all the people he and I care about most. I'd like the white dress, silly speeches and dancefloor Twister on the day and children, labradors and a happy husband for life.

In practice, I'm too much of a commitment phobe to ever do these things

foxyboxer

Don't want marriage or kids. :cool:

I am married. Delighted i got married. Now that i am married i would never do it again. The money could be better spent. However i rec everyone do it once. Its a great day. Especially for the ladies.

I am religious. Not that matter. I got married because i love my wife. A cert cannot prove this to god. However i would value the religious aspect more than the cival aspect.

Have 2 kids. Will prob have another. Would have loved 20 kids. But that is life

The_Kew_Tour

I am not bothered if I get married. I would like to meet someone and spend the rest of my life with them, but marriage aint me at minute

Remind me of one time when I was minding an 8 year old boy...his dad had being playing football with him but had to go...the little lad said when I grow up and get married and have children I will play football with them all the time and I will buy them sweets all the time!.....I said jokingly how do you know you will get married he look at me and said don't be silly everyone gets married!!!

Ohmygod never knew you could get Disney wedding dresses:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I don't think I want to get married, well at least not for 10 years when I'm in my mid 30s and I'm wise!I'm way too immature now at the age of 23!

Tipsy McSwagger

Getting married in 2 years. Why? Because I love my girlfriend and would be honored to call her my wife.

dee.

I do, not sure if I'll take my husbands name after we get married though. I don't want a traditional church wedding, I would like a small outdoor wedding (preferably abroad on a nice beach or in a forest type setting if we marry in Ireland) I don't want a huge number of guests, just family and very close friends.

stupidusername

nope, have no plans to get married at all. really don't see the point.

JerryHandbag

If it does happen it'll be a registry office jobby, but as it stands I have no desire whatsoever to become a husband. Other goals in my life!

willow tree

never thought about it too much but i would like to have a ceremony, when children are old enough to enjoy it, so it would be more like an exclamation of us as a family getting married and then we'd all head off on 'honeymoon'. i agree with poster who said everyone should try it once, seems like an experience. however it'd be just some fun, its no bigger commitment as far as im concerned.
id love to do what billy connolly did, head off to figi (with his grown up children) and get married (although i think he was renewing vows);)

prinz

Yes, got married. Haven't looked back since, wouldn't change a thing.

Particularly enjoy/ed other eejits assuring me about how my life would be over, I'd be under the thumb etc. Have a better life now than they do. Bless.
