My cousin got married
and they had a civil ceremony. It was the first I'd been to, and was really a breath of fresh air.

My insane auntie is having a civil ceremony next week
It's well cheap but in a nice setting, so I hear.
I think I'll enjoy it. Less fuss than my cousin's wedding which was a full-on monster wedding. Too much pressure for all involved.

because it was over quickly?
the last couple of church ones I've been to the crazy vicar has spoiled it in my view.

one mentioned sex every few words, and the other started banging on about GM foods and stuff. just what you want to hear.

The expeditious nature of it was one advantage, yes
But also because there was no praying, singing or general faffing about to appease a deity.

I can't bear that stuff either
after going to a christening a while ago I came to the conclusion that if someone asked me to be their child's godfather I'd have to say no because I couldn't bring myself to stand up and waffle on about how I believe in god and renounce satan.

I prefer civil ceremonies
The last one I went to was lovely, and over in 20 minutes. Perfect!
