Re: Marriage Vows
I've been married twice - first time full works, (church, dress, big reception etc.) and it lasted a year. Second time simple registry office with only about 10 people there. We have now been together and faithful to each other for over 45 years (not all of them married and not all of it easy). Each time I actually got married I couldn't wait to get it over and done with and I have very little by way of photographs etc. from either. The difference with my second marriage (which is still alive and kicking) is that we made our promises and commitment to each other long before we decided to get married. The ceremony and piece of paper was just a formality which we felt necessary for the sake of any children. I didn't have an engagement ring second time and have never really worn my wedding ring - it sits immaculate in a drawer (he never wanted one).Re: Marriage Vows
Dianne and I will be married 40 years come September. We got married in church because the only alternative was the registry office - and that wasn't the same 40 years ago. So, although we had no religeous beliefs, we were married in church - mainly to please the parents, the relatives and the freeloaders who just wanted a drink! We felt like gate crashers at a party.Re: Marriage Vows

Re: Marriage Vows
I agree Rena, the engagement I think is the most important, we had actually decided to wed many months before we officially announced our intentions.
