Escapists and marriage

[Shoggoth2588]

*I'm not married but I believe I've met the one I will marry. I don't see it actually happening for at few years though as we would both like to enjoy time in each relationship phase (boyfriend/girlfriend, fiancée, etc...)

*We've talked about it and would prefer a small ceremony. We may just go to the courthouse and have it done that way then, throw a small party after. Something like that.

*My Father wasn't a good example when it came to commitment but most of the other people I know have married and remained that way for many years. I don't think you should be allowed to divorce for just any reason but, in instances of abuse or, neglect I see divorce as being a viable option.

*Same sex marriage isn't just possible, it's already happening and I support it. One's genitalia doesn't hinder one's ability to find a life-mate. I also don't see why what goes on behind closed doors needs to be regulated by state. Religious groups should be the ones to lighten up but that's unlikely to happen for a while.

*I can count the number of weddings I've attended on my right hand. I can't count the number of weddings I've wanted to go to or, the number of wedding's I've enjoyed. I like the idea of pageantry behind a wedding though and, while I wouldn't want a lavish ceremony, I would love to continue watching them...on Bridezillas which is a really funny show. Kinda sad too but mostly funny.

-Nope, and yep.
-I'd like a quiet ceremony but any girl I'd marry would want a real big party.
-I think that divorce is necessary in some cases.
-I don't care, people can do what they want as long as it doesn't affect me. (Which it doesn't.)

 

[LittleWench1629]

- Yes, I am married
- It was a lovely quiet ceremony with close friends and family
- I think if you are going to get married, it should be a life long commitment. It shouldn?t be done on a whim. But things obliviously change. I do think there should be another choice though e.g. a different type of marriage that lasts for a year and a day and then after that you could either stop there or get married properly.
- Same sex marriages should be allowed
- A little info on my marriage: I met him when I was 16 and we got married September last year. He was my first and is still my only love.

I'm not married & i don't plan on it, but i will if she really wants too.
Very small just family & friends, probly on the beach somewhere.
Divorce is fine, but too many people take marrage way to lightly.
Everyone should have the right to be miserable, but seriously people should be allowed to marry whomever they choose.

-Are you married? And if not, do you intend on getting married someday?
No, but I would like to be married eventually.
-Will it be/was it a quiet ceremony or a big lavish event?
It really depends on the religious beliefs of my future husband. I'm not religious enough to want a big church wedding, but I would love to have a smaller outdoor wedding of 50-100 people. I guess mid-size and not too expensive as I don't want to start off married life under a mountain of debt.
-How about divorce? Do you think people think too lightly about the commitment of marriage or should people be allowed to terminate a marriage for any reason they see fit?
I think that people take it too lightly. I believe that there are circumstances that warrant terminating a marriage, but marriage is also something you have to work at and I think that some people expect it to come easy and run when it doesn't work that way.
-Same sex marriage. Should it be possible or not?
Yes. If someone is in love enough to want to make the commitment of marriage than they should be allowed to do it, regardless of sex.
-Anything else you might want to add.
Not especially.

-Are you married? And if not, do you intend on getting married someday? No, I'm not. Maybe one day, depending on if I find the pserson I want to marry.

-Will it be/was it a quiet ceremony or a big lavish event? In the middle, I want it to be celebrated a lot. But I don't want it being OTT and too fancy.

-How about divorce? Do you think people think too lightly about the commitment of marriage or should people be allowed to terminate a marriage for any reason they see fit? I think some people do jump into marraige too soon and for the sake of it. But, it's up to them and it's no affecting me so I don't really care.

-Same sex marriage. Should it be possible or not? I like what we have in the UK which is. for gay people, Civil Partnerships. IT's pretty much the same thing.

-Anything else you might want to add. Marry me?

 

[Captain Pirate]

-Are you married? And if not, do you intend on getting married someday?
-No, and I do intend on being married someday.
-Will it be/was it a quiet ceremony or a big lavish event?
-Not exactly either. I mean, not quiet, but not massive. Relatively large. All my friends, all hers, our relatives, etc, and taking place in our Church.

-How about divorce? Do you think people think too lightly about the commitment of marriage or should people be allowed to terminate a marriage for any reason they see fit?
-Love is probably the most complicated thing I know of, and so people may simply stop loving one another. There may be other reasons, like one of the couple betraying the other's trust so severely, or any of hundreds of reasons why divorce should be allowed. So yes, I think people sometimes do choose too quickly, and Divorce should continue to be allowed.
-Same sex marriage. Should it be possible or not?
-Yes, of course.

-Anything else you might want to add.
-I want to get married young, and have kids around mid-late twenties, latest early thirties.
If you think this is wierd, it's mainly because I grew up (and am still growing up) with parents in their late 40s and 50s. I love them, obviously, I just wish I could've done all sorts of activities that I wasn't able to do.
Playing Football with my dad, stuff like that.
I want to be at a good young age and still with a relatively childish mind to want to and be able to do those sorts of things with my kids.

Ahem. From a bitter thirtysomething straight to your ears:

-Are you married? And if not, do you intend on getting married someday? No. And it'd have to be VERY exceptional circumstances for me to ever say "I do" within earshot of a justice of the peace again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, you dig?
-Will it be/was it a quiet ceremony or a big lavish event? My first wedding was a simple courthouse matter. No elaborate production involved. If I ever get married again, I might grant her the benefit of a storybook wedding, but only if someone else pays for it because I personally think the wedding/bridal industry is a money sink for the stupid.
-How about divorce? Do you think people think too lightly about the commitment of marriage or should people be allowed to terminate a marriage for any reason they see fit? When I got divorced, I was less hurt by the wife deciding she wanted to go on in life without me and more annoyed by the fact that I'd be so foolish as to marry someone with such a questionable sense of commitment, honor, and loyalty. A broken vow is a big deal with me, marriage vow or otherwise---the most important traits in a person that I value are loyalty and dedication and she showed neither. Divorce is dishonorable to me. And I was faithful and devoted (and at least she didn't cheat on me, I'll give her that.)
-Same sex marriage. Should it be possible or not? True answer: Sexual orientation is not a disqualifier for basic human rights. Snarky answer: Keep it forbidden because I wouldn't wish marriage on anyone, gay or straight.
-Anything else you might want to add. Yeah. In the words of my uncle Joe: "If it flies, floats, or fucks, rent it."

 

[lacktheknack]

Not yet, want to be at some point.

Somewhere in between.

I hate divorce. Reason one: What happened to "'Til death do us part"? Talk about being insincere. Reason two: My larger family got royally messed up following my uncle's messy divorce.

Don't force the Church to do it... otherwise, who am I to say?

 

[Adam Galli]

1. Engaged
2. Hopefully a small wedding
3. Divorce is only a last ditch option when everything else fails
4. I'm all for same sex marriage. Equality for all I say.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

-Are you married? And if not, do you intend on getting married someday? No, but I do intend on marrying my current girlfriend down the road when we get more settled with our careers and living situation.

-Will it be/was it a quiet ceremony or a big lavish event? Somewhere in the middle probably. I don't have a lot of invitees on my end, so I don't know about lavish, but I'd like to have something meaningful, whether big or small.

-How about divorce? Do you think people think too lightly about the commitment of marriage or should people be allowed to terminate a marriage for any reason they see fit? People are free to terminate it for whatever reason they choose. It's their life and it's none of my business. However, I do feel people take marriage lightly and marry the wrong people, for the wrong reasons, on a daily basis.

-Same sex marriage. Should it be possible or not? It absolutely should.

The thought of even the smallest event scares me and if women wear white and theyre not a virgin its a lie.....or is that the veil....whatever i dont care.
