    Again, I'm sure something of this nature has been posted before but whatever.

    Do you want to get married? And if you do, big blow out wedding, small close family and friends deal, eloping, or something else?

    This girl doesn't want to get married. ^___^

    Also, thanks for having the first good variation on the "stay X and Y on" meme I have seen in a very long time.

    I'd like to have a long-term relationship but I don't really care about marriage. I guess it's good for legal stuff.

    I kinda want to he married. I don't know I mean, I just want to find true love, marriage is kinda a formality.

    As for the ceremony I would prefer something small, simple, preferably outdoors. But my partner will have their say too sooo

    I'm not a big fan of weddings. Marriage seems like a decent idea, though. The problem with saying that I want it now is that I don't know who it is who will be marrying me and I don't know exactly what my future will be. Making a choice now seems a bit premature.

    I want to get married in the sense that I really want to find a complementary person to share my life with and face the roller coaster that is life together.

    I don't want to get married if it will involve an abusive relationship or one whose foundations were built "on sand" and not on "rock."

    I want to... but that might not happen till I'm in my late 20s or 30s. Can't find "the one."

    If the right guy comes along sure why not. But lets face it is that ever going to happen? I doubt it.

    Sure I'd like to be married, there's a lot of benefits, financially and mentally to it. The wedding thing though... if it were just for me, I'd say gimme the papers and let's have a family dinner. Knowing my family...there'll be some kind of ceremony thing required before dinner. But as long as my sister gets married first, it'll be my dad presiding over the ceremony, which is good because I wouldn't want any strangers around at a family event.

    So, several things would have to happen:

    1. Meet the right guy or unique woman I suppose.

    2. Get financially stable first.

    3. If said partner is a man, marriage would have to be legal here obviously.

    Those 3(especially first two) seem like pipe dreams right now.

    I would love to get married. It's been a desire of mine since I was young and, now, I've found someone I want to marry. :grin: Now, I would first prefer something small, we don't mind even a very simple one. However, we did say we would like to make one, after sometime had pass, more formal and such.

    I do want to get married. Obviously my girlfriend has major input on what kind of wedding. I know that I don't want a big blow out. It's going to be a small family and friends deal, or eloping. Personally I'd rather elope so I can avoid the whole "So I'm marrying a girl, who's going to get over their homophobia in time for the wedding?" mess.

    No. I find it pointless, and it always leads to disaster.

    I never dreamed about it or anything but if I met someone(that I loved of course) who would like to marry me I would more than gladly do so for them.

    No, to me It's more of a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I believe in love and long term romance, but marriage to me is just a piece of paper that doesn't do much. I could just have a girlfriend to move in with. Besides, if you decide you don't want to be in that relationship anymore, divorce is a huge hassle with more complications than just breaking up.

    I also think It's getting way too expensive to manage these days. My parents have actually joked that they should just get divorced and live together as boyfriend/girlfriend instead to have better money management.

    Who knows... maybe "the one" is closer than I think... I've been starting to feel that hope somewhere inside. Hope that I won't be alone for the rest of my life. It's a candle flicker... I I feel it. But I will be in my mid or late 20s though.

    I don't know when my guy will come along? I don't know it all but I know I would LIKE TO get married someday. My immediate family and close friends, and his family and close friends…sounds lovely :slight_smile:
