an idiot

in your view
but then, other people might think that tying down one's entire finances, happiness and sexlife to another human being who could die on you or dump you or cheat on you or start to bore the tits off you any day of the week is idiotic. but look how thrilled you are to be doing it!

I suspect we'd find more takers for marriage than for £20 cocktails at the savoy.
you seem to try and make it sound like a silly idea, but the point is, the reason I'm doing it is because I'm sure that the things you have listed are better because they are tied to that one person, not at risk because of it.

i am a property disputes lawyer
i deal with the fallout of broken marriages daily.

it's very difficult not to jump up and call out when the vicar asks for reasons why there should be no marriage!

the same thing happened to my dad
but he was a criminal lawyer so he basically thought everyone was a fucking cunt.

For the most part he is right, but not for everyone.

That's a bit harsh
are you feeling outdone by TGB?

no, I was being flippant
it depends on what the cocktails were like. I suspect they were very nice.

also, I look forward to the day when I could happily pay that much for cocktails without feeling massively wrong.

I was actually quite pleased to be able to get a nice wedding ring without feeling guilty about spending some money for a change.

I suspect so as well
but I think at £20 a shot it'll be a long time before I judge firsthand
