Because cake is happiness

This is my first ever poll! Woo. And I have clearly made it as Politics UK is boring me senseless. I was just wondering what everyones views on marriage were as one of my friends is adamant she will get engaged but never get married, which to me seems slightly illogical as I thought the point of getting engaged was to eventually get married. Maybe she just wants a ring

I'd like to, with the right person. Right now, I do not know what the criteria for 'right person' is, but yeah.

Yeah, I would like to get married. I'm in no rush though, and whether anyone would actually want to marry me is another matter.

I want to get married! I want to have 5 kids and live on a farm with goats.
However, I am the biggest commitment phobe but maybe thats just because I havent found the 'right person' yet. Getting married and having babies is my ultimate goal though.

EXTREME!

Yes, I want to get married, in the next couple of years hopefully, but we shall have to see!

I'm one of the lucky ones waiting for the right time rather than the right person *gloats a little* I know it's something I want to do, always has been.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I want to, but I don't want to rush into it. I'll probably end up like my parents and get married when I've got a 4-year old and only pay for a pair of tights...

If I find the right person then I do, it's just being sure about the person. And not for quite a few years yet either

YEars ago id have jumped up screaming ooh me, pick me, me me me... THen i got older, now, i dont care... If i find someone i care enough about to consider getting married to them then i don't think i would need a bit of paper and a shared surename to prove that... Though i guess it depends on the time place and circumstance.. Im not ruling it out, i just personally dont see it as being likely, other than for financial reasons (till certain laws are updated anyways) or because its what "t'other half wants"

Bitches Love Cannons

I love the idea of getting married as in the actual wedding day. Dressing up, being showered with loads of gifts to start your new home with... Yeah, that all sounds great but I honestly don't think I could deal with the cold, hard commitment. Or at least, not yet. Maybe one day but the person is going to have to be damn special. I'm a lot to put up with for 5 minutes, let alone until death us do part

I really don't want to think that far into the future. I don't like thinking more than 6 months into the future, and I almost certainly will not be getting married in the next six months.

Dismantling a person is sometimes necessary...

I'm in a situation where friends at Uni are seriously asking me whether I'm going to be proposing at any point soon and my mate Stu, who's been with his girlfriend for slightly longer than I have with mine, is getting ready (almost) to proposing to his lady friend...He's asked me to be his best man too, but that's not the point, I just wanted a quick boast.
Anyway, I'm in love with Sarah and I want to be with her forever. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to be proposing any time soon as I consider myself far too immature for marriage at the moment. There's no rush, but It will happen one day, weather permitting.

I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

I never want to get married, it's tired religious tradition that I don't particularly believe in. Far too many people get married on a whim these days and end up divorced a year or two later, which doesn't sound like fun. I don't see why people need to prove their commitment by getting married, it makes little sense to me. So, yeah, no marriage, Vicar.

Marry me?

I really don't know. Like Joel, I can't see that far into the future, or don't want to at least.

Also, I think it's about finding the right person. Also, I'd get really scared that they wouldn't like me or jilt me at the alter or something, and so I'd probably do as I do now and do nothing.
Yeah, so I'll end up as a hermit for the rest of my life. A spinster hermit.

Me?!

You know, people talk about Christmas having its meaning sapped out of it and it becoming commercial. In my opinion, marriage is far more a culprit of this.

In what is essentially a religious ceremony (Ok a legal ceremony it can be argued, but traditionally, bare with me) about two people coming together in God yadda yadda, it has become nothing more than a piece of paper and people forgetting that it should be a life time bond.

Personally, I can't see why I wouldn't want to get married if I was sure that the other person is right for me, but i've become very skeptical about marriages these days

I'd agree. Perhaps for diffferent reasons, i'm not sure, but I know quite a lot of people who get engaged like it's some kind of fad.. 9/10 don't go through with getting married, and we're talking 17, 18, 19, 20 year olds. Alex has the right idea, in my opinion. Getting engaged for 'the sake of it' doesn't impress anyone. It's not just a bit of fun. Just going off the people I know, of course.

I could argue this until I was blue in the face... but I'm not going to.

I think that to be honest its a small minority of people that get married for the fun of it. It's an expensive thing to do, I mean even to get a marriage license you have to pay for it, and to get divorced as well.

I do know a lot of people who get engaged... and then call it off... and then get engaged... and then call it off... and so on, but to me the engagement isn't the important thing. It's something you do as a way to getting married, which is the most important thing out of it.

I think saying that marriage has been commercialised is going a tad far. It has become a more public thing, what with celebrities and stuff like that becoming more 'famous' so to speak, but I don't think it's been commercialised. Yes there's the engagement present, and the wedding present, and the endless cards... but the ceremony itself is still the same as it has been for centurys.

Yes, marriage started off as a religious ceremony, no one can argue against that, but it has developed into the biggest symbol and act of commitment possible. Yes, fair enough its 'only a piece of paper' but I think you'll find that if you ask somebody why they got married, you won't find many that will say 'for the hell of it'

Most people that I know (that have got married) did so intending it to be for a lifetime, and then it not going to plan - as I've said on many inappropriate occasions before, sh*t happens, and that changes people.

Aye there's little point staying together if the rot as set in and you have tried to make it work, and you've got to point where you're miserable. Some people change too and can become complete arses when they have married. I've heard some battered wives say that their husbands only turned after they'd made the commitment, for example.

i don't know about getting married, but i would love a wedding, if that makes any sense. the flowers, the presents, the pretty dress, the being the center of attention...sounds good to me

i'd like a wedding like the one in "the runaway bride" thats outside in the sun and has horses. but then, if theres horses you can't have sweet lil' girls who can barely walk but are cute holding the end of the dress, because if the horses got scared they might kick out...

anyways, if you could have a wedding without getting married, then yesh yesh yesh

I don't understand the need.
I no my boyfriend loves me without having to wear a big dress and say 'I do'.

Plus what if your feelings change. Theres only a small chance, but sh*t happens.....
