Throwing My Life Away

[NoMercy]

I'm getting married in a month's time. Got our marriage licences yesterday.

What on earth am I thinking...!

[Peter Pedant]

I married my partner ( loose talk) so that he wouldnt be booted out of my property by my rapacious and grasping relatives after I had been shown a red card

clearly a will is required as well

PP ^at least you could marry him. I knew somone at work many years ago (he had AIDS) who had to marry a female friend so that when he died, the female friend could pass on his pension to his other half. How times have changed.

All the best to you NoM. xx

My mother once told me that when she married, she organised the ceremony for 09:00 in the morning. Her reasoning was that if it hadn't worked out, she would not have wasted the entire day.

We got married in jeans and anoraks. Well it was winter. Nearly 41 years ago. Would I have loved a big white wedding?Offcourse, but money was tight then and my parents never thought it would last, ergo a waste of
Dosh.

Peter I do have a sense of humour just not for silly attempts at humour! Why I find most of your posts hysterical!

Congrats NoM. Really pleased for you both :o) xxx

So happy for you all (you, fiancé and baby nom). Just remain yourself after marriage - something I finally learnt! (Now very happily married.) I trust that you will find that marriage will give you an enhanced place in your society - not well-expressed, but the best I can do at this hour. It will be wonderful, I'm sure. :) x

Funny how you need a licence to get married but not for owning a dog :-D

Wishing you and future Mr Nom all the very, very best,
Am sure you will have many years of happiness ahead xx

A friend of mine who I had been estranged from about 2 years

She rang me and said Jenny "I have got engaged" me - brilliant

and I am getting married - me - brilliant

and I want you to go to the wedding - me brilliant

and I am pregnant - me brilliant

They are still married 30 years later - so Good luck Nom

Got married when I was 18 and it is our Golden wedding anniversary this year. I joke that I will never divorce him as I don't want him to ever be that happy. His response is that I am very lucky that we don't have to renew the licence every year like the TV. Seriously though we have had a great time and I really hope that you and your chap will have a long and happy marriage. Good luck for the future.

BD, please give us Ab'ers the date so DT can organise a suitable cake and Nom and'or Sunny-Dave can offer a decent wine/beer to celebrate :-D

Very many congrats to you both for forth-coming Golden Wedding xx

16th December and while its a lovely thought neither of us eat cake despite the avatar. He was a college lecturer in patissserie but never ate the stuff. I don't drink but his favourite tipple is Chateauneuf-Du-Pape and I thought as a nice surprise I would buy him a bottle of the 1967 vintage. That was until I saw the price - not much change from £450 but I might get him a 1967 Cognac which I've seen for £130. That's a bit easier on the purse.

Best of luck to you both, we did it 30 years ago this September, a good decision.

Congratulations NoM. I'm guessing you'll be wearing Aubergine...

[NoMercy]

Snags...how did you guess? ;)

Thanks everyone for your nice remarks.

[goodgoalie]

Have you 'done the deed' yet? If not, it must be soon.....

Congratulations NoMercy. xx
