Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I loved my wedding day from beginning to end!

I wasn't nervous and just loved every minute of it. Married my soul mate and we're still together now some 20 years later :)

Re: It was wonderful because.......

Re: It was wonderful because.......

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I changed my mind when I reached the altar rail but was too chicken to say no

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because....

Although the weather let us down, we shared a fantastic day with family and friends and had an absolute blast... and my mum was a star as she organised most of it and even suprised us with a solo artist singing ave maria in church...

ok so we're divorced now, but still don't regret it at all and have two wonderful sons and 10 years after we split up we are pretty damn good friends now :)

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

it was wonderful because.............it started of to be the one of the bests things that happened to me ; but ended up not so good at the end of the nigth ;; but im still married ;

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

My wedding was a good day, and I too thought I had married my soul mate, got divorced 23 years later, we both still have good relationships with the kids (grown up), and the grandchildren, just not usually at the same time.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Its all right for you smiling I got to the alter twice (well registry office the second time) and went through with it twice:s_cry:

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because despite lots of ups and downs, good times and bad times, laughter and tears, it was the start of 34 years that I wouldn't have swapped and brought me 3 wonderful children. This September it would have been 46 years, how time flies.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because although I was only 21 and he 22 when we married and a lot of people who marry young don't last, I was lucky enough to marry someone who has been trustworthy and a rock throughout. We have a laugh together. He's a lovely man and he's not turned into a pillock like so many do. I have been very lucky.

We've been married 9 years now and have 2 children. :)

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It gives you a smug satisfaction doesn't it?? when people say " you won't last, your only young "

I was 16 when I got married (going on 17 ), and he was 19. Everyone said " it won't last 6 month's ..... " well, it's been the longest 6 month of my life, it's been 12 years in October...... and he wouldn't leave even if I wanted the ****** to leave :D:D:D

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because it hasn't happened to us, that bit of paper might have changed things, best leave things as they are :D

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because .......it was simple, it didn't cost much, but it meant much.

It was a register office wedding, done on a shoestring(an old worn one at that)we didn't have any money......all the weavers from my shift turned up without saying anything and the little room was full of people who wanted our start to be a good one.
And....despite many ups and downs we are still together......and I would not have changed a single thing about that day...lowly as it was.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I did too Jay.............I have been married to Mrs Meldrew for 34 years and no matter what the Prince of Clowns chooses to throw at me....I'm quite happy..............and solvent....overlooking the Med.
I have two daughters, two grandchildren....and as they say in Spanish 'Moy Contento'

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I married the man of my dreams and he took care of my two kids through thick and thin. We had nearly twenty years as man and wife and he was the best thing that happened to me.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Pretty much the same story for us Slinky. Mick was 19 the day after we married and I was 17 in the September. We have been married for 35yrs this year.
Keep saying we are waiting for the licence to run out or we cant afford to divorce.
Your dead right when you prove everyone wrong when they give you six mths or less.
At times we feel we cant live with each other but at the end of the day we CANT LIVE WITHOUT each other.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

We were nineteen too, and we will have been married 47 years in september,,,If i could go back in time ,i wouldent change a thing..
I ONLY GAVE MY OLDEST SON 6 MONTHS,and they will have done 15 years in July....

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

The cynics were sure proved wrong in this thread:D

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Fab posts!And nice to see people are still 'enjoying' their marriage too :)

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Well, I was feeling distinctly nervous on my wedding day. Was it going to work out marrying a rather exotic-looking foreign girl who I'd only met 5 months ago and who couldn't even speak much English? And the mutterings in the background about "she's only marrying him for a British passport." didn't help much either.

Still, as we're celebrating our 22nd anniversary this month, possibly it might be OK to relax now. As for the passport, she's had one for 18 years, so perhaps the cynics were wrong! ;)

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

slinks yer spot on, many said that to me when i wed n was early 20s, but a real PiS*Head n crazy to boot, most i got was 6 months, well it lasted 29 yrs until i lost her n never regretted much at all, over the yrs we had many a laugh n discussion about all the "Know Alls" that knew ****** all.;):D:rolleyes:

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

been there done it once would not do again

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

erm.....wheres the 'it was wonderful because...' in that post then :confused:

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

because she learnt her lesson?

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I think the long marriages have lasted because back in those days,you met someone .found out you liked them ,then courted for a while, got engaged , saved for a house, got married ,THEN had children,,had ups and downs,probably more downs than ups,,,and worked as a team,,,

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

My dad said 'I'll give it six months' as I walked out of the house on the morning I got married(neither of my parents came to my wedding)......25 years later when he was giving me a silver Teapot for my silver wedding, i nudged him and said 'it's been a very long six months, hasn't it Dad'...he just grinned and gave me a hug.

You are right Granny.....every word you say it true.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because we were the reason for everyone that we knew being in a good mood and happy. I organised everything and it was all perfect and just how I wanted it.

I'm sure there might have been a few people who were unsure about Chris and I lasting before we got married - I'm 10 yrs older than him - but we're up for our 10th anniversary this year.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

It was wonderful because we had only been together for 2 years and Len was dying of cancer, but he wanted us to get married. We had a wonderful reception at the Peel Park Hotel surrounded by family and friends in April '07 and Len died just three months later.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Why is it that people can be together for years but then when they get married they split up within a few years? I spose people just change.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Oh, Ossylass that is really sad........ but it just goes to show that you should make the most of every single day.
You must miss your man dreadfully. I will remember that when I am moaning about mine......well, I'll try to.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Sometimes being married makes people feel 'trapped'.Like they can't do anything by themselves or be who they really are.
I have known a few that feel because they are married they can't get with someone else-n that makes them want to even more,although if they werent married they wouldn't even think about it.
Does that make any sense?

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Brought a tear to my eyes reading this Ossylass. At least Len got his wish

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

I wouldn't want to be with anyone else.....there is always an element of the 'grass is greener'...but what makes the grass greener......? it's the manure.
every relationship has a bit of manure in it......you just have to remember the reasons why you got together in the first place.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Age old saying ..... Grass maybe greener on the other side, but it still needs mowing.

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Not really.

If you're married and you're after going with someone else that means you're not happy in your relationship with your husband/wife.

Surely it wouldn't make a difference if you were boyfriend/girlfriend.

If you were in a happy relationship you wouldn't be after someone else, married or not. :confused:

Re: It was wonderful because.......
 

Sometimes I think people fall in love(or lust) with what they think someone is like...and the reality can be very far from that. Then you've got trouble.
