We're having a completely civil ceremony in Vienna and have held firm on our ruling that it's for friends and immediate family only. Auntie Betty has *not* been invited. We're having the "do" at a humble wine garden in the Vienna hills.swisslethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888355.post-57077486235304854712007-04-20T18:11:00.000+01:002007-04-20T18:11:00.000+01:00so very well thought out.so very well thought out.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914991946709130956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888355.post-12690945859801228872007-04-17T23:22:00.000+01:002007-04-17T23:22:00.000+01:00I'm with Surly Girl, Cat and Saffyre on this one.I...I'm with Surly Girl, Cat and Saffyre on this one.<BR/>I used to want the whole big church thing.

Now, at 30, she's having an affair with her driving instructor and about to get divorced. Turns out the rich, older man was a complete control freak and being married was like being in prison. <BR/><BR/>That said, I want to be a briiiiiddddeeee!!!!!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858850210791504996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888355.post-27554246081047696852007-04-17T19:45:00.000+01:002007-04-17T19:45:00.000+01:00So, is the 'declaring' statement for your benefit ...So, is the 'declaring' statement for <I>your</I> benefit (being in the relationship) or shown as a statement to others?bedshapedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274452988546107908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888355.post-24755571291158135692007-04-17T19:25:00.000+01:002007-04-17T19:25:00.000+01:00i think it's more of an affirmation - yes, you can...i think it's more of an affirmation - yes, you can be committed to each other but it's the sort of <I>declaring</I> it, for me. and i speak as someone who was unhappily married for years (but who is getting married again next year - in a pub, by the singer in a punk band (if we can get him ordained!!).surly girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414631534757427023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888355.post-87473377250012362862007-04-17T15:12:00.000+01:002007-04-17T15:12:00.000+01:00saffyre,Aah yes, now a beach wedding sounds nice!a...saffyre,<BR/>Aah yes, now a beach wedding sounds nice!<BR/><BR/>anxious,<BR/>And that's just it.
