I hope I will be as happy as you when I eventually get married Robyn :D :D :D


The trick is to make sure you know what you want and don't accept less.

Agree Dash, and don't get married too young.

 So many of my friends are now divorcing after 15-20 years.   ???

 I am still so Happy.... ;D ;D ;D ;D

That sounds like good advice, thanks Dash ;D

And don't worry Robyn, I have no plans to get married just yet ;)

I was 22 and DW was 21 when we got married. That was 29 years ago.  :)

Wow DFM, how did you afford a wedding when you were so young?

29 years... does it feel like a long time Dash?

First time so was I Michele - I'm surprised the first marriage lasted almost 20 years when I look back on it.
Second time I was 41.

Amy sometimes it feels like forever and other times it feels like yesterday.

Totally agree - I was just 22 DH was 25 when we got married, best thing I ever did was marry him! :D He's seriously the best!! And we're still in love!  :-* :-* ! People comment on how happy we must be together because our kids are so happy! :)

Well we got married in Church and had the reception at Araluen, a very trendy (at the time) reception centre at Ryde, my parents paid.
The reception cost $2,000, a lot of money 32 yrs ago and the grooms parents only paid for the cars and the alcohol in those days and LOL as we had a "dry" reception.

Second time round 49yrs old and cost about $700.

I can relate to that feeling, but not in terms of being married :-)) And especially for so long! I can't imagine what it must feel like to have been alive for 29 years, let alone married ;D

Astarra, it sounds like your family is as close to perfect as they come :-*

DFM, it sounds rude to me that the groom's parents paid for so little :-\

Amy the brides family always used to foot the bill for the wedding. The grooms family usually only paid for the alcohol. In a way I guess it was sort of like a dowry.

I think that is probably how the tradition started.

DFD, DD is right. 32 years ago that's how it was, not rude at all. When DD 25yrs married 3 yrs ago, her DH's parents paid for half the reception. Different times now.
