Friends dont let mates get married.

Marriage is only a piece of paper that says she gets it all when she throws you out of your house you pay for, and the court supports her.

Have a great day.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

Yesterday was a magical day when I had the privilege and joy of watching two people obviously very much in love make a very beautiful commitment to each other (it was not a standard Christian ceremony - so the vows were much more in-depth than usual). It reminded me that love really can conqueror mountains and removed a little of that jaded aspect which many of us, after a few decades, sometimes develop towards the Western convention of marriage.

Those of us who have been fortunate to have had long close marriages and raise children will know that there are a small number of truly special days we are privileged to experience during our lives - yesterday was one of them.

Hi Mike

Congratulations.

You say what does it have to do with 4wding. Nothing except that this like an online family and families share joyous events. :)

>bloody ripper Mike

Thanks Jeremy, it was too! :)

>(did not know you were a Father mate)

Two boys - one early, one late twenties both of who I love dearly and am very proud of :)

For various reasons, in recent years, I have met a number of people around my age who have not had children - I think they have all regretted it :( Raising children and watching them grow to adulthood must be about the most fulfilling thing we can do in life I reckon - sometimes pain, sometimes joy but always worthwhile.
