Hi Ladies,

I have just started a new blog, which is a bit different to the normal 'wedding' blog....

I want to talk about weddings in the context of marriage and how they are not ONLY about the details, but about how they change us and make us feel, and some of the deeper issues surrounding actually getting married...

I'm posting this in lots of places, because I'm interested in other peoples ideas on marriage and weddings, and I'm interested in how the lesbian/gay community percieve marriage, and whether hetrosexual couples can learn from you...

 
The first posts are here

http://anyotherweding.blogspot.com/

and it should tell you a little bit more about why I'm doing this and what I'm trying to achieve - let me know what you think.... you can either leave a comment on the blog or email me at anyotherwedding@live.co.uk

marriage is a union of a couple who agreed to live in perfect and imperfection... to be each others shoulder and strength... there is no mine or yours, there is only ours... this was what i learned from my parents... who are up to m y father's death were as in love as when they first met... :) nice thread...

It means 100% partnership, no more 'me' or 'I' without the other, promising to be with and there for eachother until death to us part. It means cementing our family.

It means we are entitled to all the rights all couples who share a life together should be entitled to.

It means no more "It's just a phase" or "You'll marry a nice man some day". It means making it all real and official. It means standing up and telling everyone that our love is forever.

^This x1,000,000

Not sure if my opinion counts because I'm a bisexual woman marrying a straight man, but to me marriage means being seen as a united pair, a family if you will, in front of God and the government. And your comment, MandM, sums up my views completely ^_^

Especially since my uncle Ray and his husband John will hopefully be joining us on our wedding day, and I consider their presence a huge blessing at our nuptuals x

Getting married, the day i wearing my beautiful wedding dress to pass the most happiness day. Then i will have a new family. At that time, I have to learn to take responsibility for the family. Perhaps we will be very happy with the marriage. Then we will have our children in one day.

Marriage:

means to me the unity of two people. Two people who love each other unconditionally, work as a team and become one strong unit and can work toghther through the thick and thin of times ahead.

for the family attending it is about the joining of two families celebrating the unity of not only two poeple but embracing a new family too.

I am not relgious but marriage means means unity, and togther as one entity in security of both companies.

Stuck toghther forever like glue :D
