    Soon to be married's only!

    We've had the "marrieds only" and "single's only" but us "soon to be married's" lot dont really fit in to either!!

    So come on - how do you feel about it?

    (You can choose more than 1 option!)


    Personally, I think I'm very realistic. I'm very excited to be married, although not so bothered about the "big day". I think I'd rather just nick off somewhere just the two of us to be honest!

    I'm also a bit scared in case married life sucks and we start fighting all the time or something.

    Me and my other half know each other very very well, and most of the time get on fantastically, but we've had 2 of our most established, loved up and generally happiest couples split up over the last year (who've both been together about 10 years and seemed solid as rocks)...so it's hard to be on cloud 9 really.

    I guess I'm going into it with the attitude of "he's my best mate and I want to be around him for as long as I can possibly see"...but I can't say with any certainty if it'll last. Which kind of sucks really, cause I really want it too.

    First ask yourself "why are we getting married"
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Oi!! This isn't a thread for you miserable lot to make us feel sh*t about getting married...it's for us to talk about how we feel about it, amongst ourselves.

      So b*gger off!

          Then ask yourself, what are the legal disadvantages of just living together.

              Most females seem to have been sold the Cinderella story.... everything in life is about finding & marrying Prince Charming

                    It's a valid question - if you have a good reason to be getting married (and I'm not going to go into what constitutes a good reason or not), and want to be getting married, then get married.

                    When I got married, we'd been engaged for four years - what was the point in being engaged and not getting married? The reasons for marriage were still as valid as they were when I proposed, and we knew that we were doing what felt right.

                    No regrets.
