    Is it just love?

    I dont get the whole locked up deal.

    Is this what marriage is all about?? "Oh sorry, I cant go."

    I dont think you really get it till you fall in love for real. Maybe even then you dont want to get married, but you still want to stay with that one person. granted, everyone is different. Im very loyal.

    I want two things in life - my university diploma in one hand and a wedding ring on my other hand.

    Nah it's not about love.. well.. some people do it as a "love symbol" but marriages are just.. pointless, really, except for legal reasons. I mean unless you're really religious and stuff.. and some people (most people) just get married because.. "you gotta do it eventually" or something.

    Personally, I don't need marriage if I'm in a committed relationship with someone who I truly love and the feelings are mutual.. why the extra piece of paper, you know? I would only get married for a nice party and happy memories and legal reasons.. but if it were only for a nice party and happy memories.. I wouldn't even care to do a legal marriage.. I could just wear a pretty dress and have a ceremony.. no paperwork.. no.. sort of religious binding or anything.

    Being married doesn't mean anything. It's not because you're married that you're gonna be more faithful or more in love.. to me, being told "I want to spend my life by your side" means the same, if not more than being asked "will you marry me?". I guess a ring and stuff can be symbolic of how much you love someone.. but that's all it is.. a symbol..

    Beats the hell out of me. I have no interest in getting married...Maybe a "common law" marriage, but that's about it.
    I already know that my marriage would end in divorce. So why waste the money on a wedding, then on the divorce?

    The second most people get married, it seems as if there at each others throat.

    you can get married and get divorced.. just like you can be in a committed relationship and then break-up.. it's the *same* freaking thing, no legal shit involved.. that's all the difference is, paperwork.. that's ALL..

    no, it's the second people live together.. I mean if you propose someone you should realize you should kinda wanna enjoy being around them all the time.. or a lot, anyway.. (in my opinion a healthy relationship is a relationship where you can enjoy your own space and little vacations from each other once in a while, keeps the fire live, you know?)

    yeah being proposed to means a lot.. but it could just mean "I wanna be with you forever" and then give me a plastic ring or something. it's the intention that counts more than the expensive ring and big wedding.. to me, love isn't measured by how much money you spend for someone..

    I wouldn't like a big crazy expensive wedding. I'd rather something.. original.. unusual.. and intimate.
