To marry or not to marry

I'm in the category that I want to get married. Its obviously going to happen since I'm getting married this July.

I'll agree with Sass, that you don't need a ceremony to prove to somebody that you love them. If its one thing I can say is that as I'm preparing the wedding it has been very a stressful experience and its not from my future wife but most notably our families.

The thing is I've been very critical of my own religion throughout the planning of this wedding. The thing is that I'm a Roman Catholic and my fiance is a pagan and I found out that roman catholic priest in my area will refuse to marry me to a pagan because they see a pagan or the pagan religion as a tool of the devil. Because of that we are getting married by a Justice of the Peace.

The thing is I do see marriage as important, even though it does have its benefits from a tax return financial point of view, but when I stand up at the wedding, I take the words will love, honour and cherish your significant other for the rest of time with the greatest amount of love and loyalty.

In a sense it is showing the people who are important to you, how much you love this person, but to me its the joining of two families. If its one thing I want to prove to many people of this wedding, is that you don't have to be traditional when it comes to a wedding. We're doing a wide array of things that may seem a little different but it just goes to show that we built this relationship upon respecting everything about each other.

To me, it doesn't really matter what people choose to do especially when it comes to marriage, I have plenty of aunts and uncles that are not married, but have been together with their significant others for over 20 years, and I don't look down to them because they're not married. Couples will do what they want, and as long as they're happy thats the main thing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
