Pourquoi?

Why am i getting married? Good question!

Thinking about it, it's actually a really hard question to answer. There's no clear cut, straight down the middle reply....

My Mum and Dad got married when they were 18 and 19. They renewed their vows on their 20th anniversary (same day as my 18th party.....great day!!!). My Dad dying is what split them in the end. Even though life wasn't always peachy im sure they would've been together forever!

It's just something that i saw as normal. You love someone and want to spend your life with them - you marry them. I always wanted to get married, i was never girlie so wasn't really into the whole princess thing (am now, hahaha!), but just knew that one day i would get married to the person i love, and who loves me!

I suppose it could be seen as a symbol to others that you're together forever.... perhaps some people find it benefits them financially, some dont want children unless they're married (too late for me then!). This isn't the case with us. We share everything (money-wise) anyway, so marriage makes no difference to our finances. People know we're together forever because we've been together for nearly 7 years and to be honest i couldn't give a flying banana what other people think. And on the child out of wedlock malarky, let's just say i shouldn't technically be getting married in white!

To me it's just a natural progression of our relationship. We have a baby so we're together forever whether we like it or not. It was never questionned what surname she would have because we always knew we would get married at some point and all eventually have the same name!

Marriage is something we've always talked about. It's always been on the cards, it was just a matter of when we could do it how we wanted to, no debts or money worries. The house came first, then Bobi...now getting married.

We're going the whole hog, big dress, big church, snazzy cake (ouchy prices!), huuuuuuuuuuuge party! The whole shabang!! But saying that, with this credit crunch malarky...if we can't afford it - it aint going in. Im not getting into debt for a wedding!!!!!

I've been planning to brand Lee with my ownership of him for a long time! Hahaha!! He is wearing a wedding ring whether he wants to or not! He is mine! End of story....
