Not getting married
- Thread starter skairdykat
- Start date
I to am a married lady, so prob shouldnt reply!
But before I met hubby I was adament I wasnt going to get married, said it was pointless and I would just settle to be in a relationship! Names or anything didnt really bother me!
When I met my now hubby I told him my views, but he soon turned me round,
now we are married I do see it as more then just a bit of paper,
ok as a 'Unmarried' you can have joint bank accounts etc but I have found so many advantages with having that lil bit paper!
As someone esle said your wedding day can be as expensive or as cheap as you like! I had a huge wedding day but on a very small budget!
saying that I do respect those that chose to live in 'sin'

we were for some months but decide to marry afterwards.... How about civil weddings for you guys? It isn't that expensive. 
Also, as what was mentioned earlier- it gives you security and a strong ground of possession(of your husband, LOL).
Issues on chaging names-- you don't have to change it if you don't want to. simply submit a request for a change status without the change of name. That's how it works here(Phil).

Thats how I wanted ours to go. We did ours on a budget. Parents paid for the wine and the meal and we only had 22 guests (which were mainly family) and my uncle did the photographs. And G's mum knew a lady who made gorgeous cakes for about £40.
We did registry office, then to the hotel, where we didn't book a room, but they gave us a corner of the restaurant. And as we got married on a monday the place was empty.
I always said i didn't want the piece of paper, but when i fell pregnant the first time i wanted it so much.
Sorry to jump in on the thread, but the registry office followed by weatherspoons/pizza hut would've rocked haha.
