You obviously suffer from "Shaking your fist at God syndrome"tm
You're nearly there but you have to take one more stretch of the imagination.
I cannot shake my fist at something I don't believe in. I don't shake my fists at luck when I have a bad day.
I guess I shake my fists at anyone that believes in supernatural beings and lets that belief rule thier life and tries to let it rule others, muslims do that a lot. You all have a dreadful amount in common from my perspective.

Stipe, we are going to get married thanks. In a rather nice hotel in Scotland.
We have a plan and we'll go through with it. Rather than needlessly rush off and tie the knot the minute we found out we were having a baby we decided to do it the way we planned just a little later, we have no need whatsoever to rush it.
What has god got to do with a secular marriage ? the word God won't be mentioned once in any civil ceremony.
Like CRASH said, well done. May your union be long and rewarding.
If you are not prepared to declare to your friends, family, government and God that you will honour this woman for the rest of your life then you do not deserve her. The girl and any kids are better off without you.

Gordon Bennet....you make marriage sound like a business contract....
one can be committed to someone without broadcasting it to the entire world, true committment has nothing to do with a public show, it's much deeper than that.....

Close...
You simply have to actually honour and love her for the rest of your lives. It has nothing to do with the declaration. Many make the declaration then treat her like an object or a piece of property.
So whats more important, the declaration or the action ?

Exactly.. I think we spent about $2000, and we had an awesome wedding. I would not have done it any differently. Our wedding was "cheap" by today's standards, but it was GREAT!! (Just ask Knight, CRASH, Nori, Lighthouse, DXPose, Dread Helm, etc etc)

You have a weird sense of how businesses operate.

Tell me, Red. What could possibly be wrong with making a vow to honour your wife and keeping it?
Now tell me might there possibly be something wrong with someone who was unwilling to make such vows?

The action, anyone can say 'I do' in front of an audience but thats got nothing to do with the actual process of a committed relationship which some here seem to think, it's pretty obvious to me that you already have a strong relationship and I'd pay squat to some of the garbage that's been thrown your way in this thread......

There isn't anything wrong with marriage, I've never said that there is! But this stuff about someone being uncommitted if they don't make this public declaration is just garbage,
and having known a couple of people who've been hurt by the dissolving of a marriage i can understand their reticence to make those vows again.....
