    IMO, its more important to the women, we just have to turn up, if you intend to stay with her for life, do it, cant do any harm (apart from the initial cost, we are planning ours on a reduced budget, and it will still cost us upto £10k) earns you browny points initially and possible tax breaks in the future under a Tory government.

    Call me a old romantic but from my point of view, the only cons are: Paying for the wedding and the hangover from the stag night!

    As long as you understand its all part of the womens controlling process ...
    you meet , and she loves your funny ways and your friends and your hobbies, and then you get engaged , and the screw is turned slowly but inevitably , and then when the ring is firmly placed on your finger , she nags your funny ways, your friends are seen as 'rivals' , and your hobbies are ridiculed relentlessly , until you give them all up for a easy life

    Your then only ever seen pushing the trolley around the supermarket 2 yards behind her , wearing clothes she has bought for you , nodding and obeying her every word , until you die ................yeah mate go for it

    25 years on, (2 weeks ago), 3 fantastic children, I'd say I'm in the +'s camp!!


    Of course the fact she might get to read this has no bearing on that statement whatsoever! :-)

    Watch out for the glandular problem with the ring finger, very common in women, once any gold touches it, theres a chemical reaction and they start expanding inexplicably around the arse and belly area.

    my brother got married 3 weeks ago and when he got engaged he said he was scared how by asking 1 question it triggered off a domino effect of questions, events, decisions, spending - he got quite freaked out by it in the first few months.
    their wedding day though was one of the best days(weekends) ever for them and for me. despite spending the whole day in tears!

    Been married before, my original stag in 1994 was at the H&G, soup in a basket, comedian,strippers etc. Went to my mates house beforehand, and unbeknown to him his missus lent me a basque, put it on in the toilet before we went out underneath my clothes, knowing I would be stitched up later on.
    Ended up on stage, stripped, lots of shocked faces etc, ended up handcuffed naked to the pelican crossing outside having beer poured over my head.

    1 question, chain of events, sounds like my missus, why use 2 words when 37 will do.

    I think if you get married, split up and hate your ex it is no different than if you were not married, split up and hate your ex.

    I know so many men who are married or cohabiting and are always trying to pull other women on a night out! If they had a good marriage then surely they wouldn't be trying to pull other women?

    Don't regret it - but the longer I'm married, the more pissed off I get. Actually, that might just be because I'm a miserable c***

    I'm currently on my second divorce, so may be in a position to judge...............marriage isn't a problem and if you love each other I can't see why you shouldsn't get married instead of just living together - the main problem is if you have kids and then want to get divorced............then its a nightmare !!!!!
