Thanks ladies I know I'm being crazy. I'm also weirded out because I've never said that! So strange that it would just pop out. Even weirder is the strange feeling that I liked it. Woah. Might be time to revisit this talk...
Can I be nosey and ask why you aren't married? Sorry if this has been covered, and feel free to tell me to mind my own business.
I have some friends who are morally against the institution of marriage, and they wound up having a sort of commitment ceremony instead (which I don't think has any legal standing, mind).
My own parents weren't married until I was five (and my brother 4), and for them it was more of a ... well I guess we should finally get around to doing that kind of thing.
I'm always interested in cases like that!
Not nosey and I don't know if it's been covered We had only been dating 9mos when I got pregnant with DS. We had talked about getting engaged and then married but then kids and life happened.
There's also the fact that I don't want a big wedding. And he does. I was never a wedding planning type of girl No dream dress, no ideal reception, etc. I would do a city hall style marriage, or maybe a destination wedding. I would gladly elope. He really wants a big thing. Someday it might happen, but since we will have to pay for it ourselves, kids and house came first.
So no, not morally against it. Kind of like the idea actually. But not tied to it either. Probably more like your parents
ETA it's not just that I don't want a big wedding. The though of planning one sounds horrible to me. And gives me so much anxiety. And due to the fact that we have huge families, if we do a thing, it will be a big thing.
