# oooh, interesting
why should I give a monkeys, I really don't see what connection it has with me.
I've no interest in anyone getting married that isn't me really, don't see how its my business.

# Their progeny will become your descendents future constitutional monarch.
Maybe in time since they've grown to televise these familial celebrations they'll let us watch the conception possibly to see that it's done right.

# ....?

Not even friends or family?

# nope
I find the idea of marriage quite ridiculous.
Me and the missus only did it to save her the minor irritation of explaining no she wasn't Mrs HappyToast when people phoned, now she can say she is. Plus it was a good excuse for me to dress like a gorilla.

# Didn't change a thing and I'd be quite happy to have not done it
It's utter bollocks that is either horribly tainted with religion or conforming to guidelines. You don't need public approval to love someone or a piece of paper signed in triplicate. And we sure as fuck don't need the event to be televised so the nation can cheer us on.

# true

# yes, that's the other reason we did it, paperwork
Hold the front page, call in all the relatives, organize a street party, our tax return will be simpler! Cupid you old rascal.

# Yeah
You don't have to go the whole religious expense-fest of it but the missus generally likes that side :)

# my missus felt the same way as me
it kind of helps to have similar views as the person you're marrying

# I get remarried is January for 10 years of marrage

# Scottish playwright Ian Hay said it best
"Marriage is a ghastly public confession of a strictly private intention."

# Fair enough.
Although I'm a happy monarchist, I don't begrudge others not wanting them. I do get cheesed off with some of the arguments that rely on bollocks (that they cost the country money, etc) when it's perfectly fair to disagree with them on idealogical grounds.

# I think what they "cost" is offset by the amount of money they bring in
that and the fact that the queen is the head of the armed forces so we shut the fuck up or she goes Gaddafi

# And the money from their estate goes to government and is more than the civil list.
I can just imagine that, though.
