What planet do you live on? I’ve been married three times – the third was the charm, no kids in prior marriages. The wedding is only one day – the joy you can feel for years after in belonging to a loving family is why we really suffer the pains of weddings. May you all find a special someone to have beautiful children with.

If you don’t want all the craziness of a big wedding but you want to marry someone you love, have a small wedding. You only get married once. Have a few close family/friends in your backyard and make it official! On my dating blog http://www.carlysdatingchronicles.com I’m searching for Mr. Right because I can’t wait to get married. I want to have a beautiful and small wedding on a beach.

A woman has more to gain financially be getting out of a marriage and getting Child Support. The best thing for a man to do is not get married based on current laws. The only men that do get married are those with nothing to loose. I can’t wait until they perfect cloning technology. Its too risky financially to get married.

Actually, probably not, because they’re both very materialistic superficial investments. I know I have a point here but I forget what it was because I ate too many beans and franks, sorry. . .

The ceremony and all that comes with it is business… cake, ring, dress, etc., all provide jobs. Most women want “all the fixins” on their wedding day… so men do what they need to to make her happy – we go into debt – just what a couple doesn’t need when they’re starting off a marriage, more debt.
