How long were you dating, before Marriage
#31
Gotta love this thread about marriage....
Reasons for marriage :
- "thought we might as well"
- "cos we're having a baby"
- "wanted a bling ring"
etc....
Good grief, no-one has mentioned the word 'love' yet

We got married as we'd been together on/off for five years, quite enjoyed the "on", but couldn't stay together otherwise (visa restrictions).
I was a bit embarrased to explain to friends. Then I found out the only reason one got married was to be able to legally adopt a child: the only reason another got married was to free herself from the subsidised mortgage on a tiny starter flat ( stay for 5 yrs, unless married); and the only reason a third got married was to get benefits equating to a substantial pay rise at work. In all cases, living together unmarried for 3 years (and hey, many marriages don't last that long) meant diddly squat.
Sorry to all the die-hard romantics out there...

Fancyed another party as the Divorce Party the year before was a classic party and my mates enjoyed it so much i thought i would throw another wild party
The wedding booze up lasted 2 days with 19 people for Breakfast the next day
Any excuse for a party !!!

Met June 82. Engaged March 83. Married November 84, three days before my twentieth birthday so I could say I was a teenage bride. I wanted to prove people wrong about marrying too young, oh and I loved him. And I think I have proved a point now.

11 years, and I'm still holding out ... but I had to relent and get an engagement ring recently Dammit !
The problem with marriage is that it has zero tangible benefits for men these days, and after seeing the Ray Parlour divorce I expect a lot of men feel the same !
