"Marriage"

Forthose of you who don't know...I recently got married to fellow (and better known) SR poster Lucy-Jane and well...life doesn't feel any different. I was really expecting post-married life to be different to pre-married life, but it really isn't....

Buying a house was a life-changing experience, as was getting a first full-time proper job and graduating of course. But I have come to the conclusion that...

Marriage = Over-rated.

yeah i must agree with you on that one. I thought it would somewhat feel alot different however its just the same :)

The same, but still good right?

I always thought a marriage was more for the bride and groom's family and friends rather than the bride and groom themselves. But then, I've just paid out a fortune for an engagement ring so maybe I was kidding myself.

The wedding presents are worth it. There's also the change in surname.

Can't really say it was in our case, as we jetted off to Antigua to tie the knot and none of our families came with us, just me, Lucy and my best man...We don't like a fuss...

Now that's a good point...we got lots of cool stuff for the house we had just moved into, including a George Forman lean mean fat reducing grilling machine!!!

Thats the worse thing to do.. as everyone wants to see your marriage certificate.. even to change your name on the SKY subscription. :| Still doing it now and we've been married a month

Now you can have legal sex in the eyes of the LORD.

yeah marrige is defenetly over-rated by far. This is why there are still alot of couples out there that are not married. Me being one of them. I have been with my partner for 6 years now, we bought our house and had a baby and another on the way. As for marrige we might get there one day but at the minute i dont see the point.

Marriage is good in a legal next of kin kind of way. If you're in hospital fighting for your life your spouse gets to call the shots rather than your folks.
