What my wedding will be like

Non-existent.

I just can't see the sense in having a church ceremony, go through the hassle of the reception, and then suddenly you are no longer married. Besides, this dress up - make up -doll up thing is not me.

So here'w what will happen, should my head tek me and mi decide fi tie di knot.

1. We will live together for at least 1 year (ideally 2), under an informal marriage arrangement.
2. If we tolerate each other for that long, then we will invite you to a session - nuff music, manish water, red peas soup, pan chicken etc.
3. Earlier the day of the session, we would have gone to some Registrar's office and got that piece of paper.

That is one alternative. The other one, the only change would be that we would go away somewhere and have one of them hotel weddings; ones that I have seen a lot of when I worked in Grenada. Then when we would have come back, we would have the session.

Well, you can invite me to de session.

But a nice wedding is a wonderful thing to have IMHO.

A big wedding ceremony is just another way to get your friends to buy you good presents (i.e. if the birthday thing doesn't work). 2 years sound long still dont you believe in love at first sight ? :)

Even thhough so many weddings end in divorce, I still want a fairytale wedding. Too bad if it ends in divorce but every little girl once had that dream of the fairytale wedding, mi waaa mine fi come true. Preferably in my 30ties. Many surveys reveal the older u get married the more likely it will last. Dr. Phil also recommends this. I guess it has alot to do with maturity level etc. Moreover, u have been there done that and know what u truly want in life. The session thing is a must though. Roast fish, curry goat and all...

Jdid, i also thought about the elope thing, and I have long set my family up to expect that.

never had the fairytale dream about weddings. i probably knew from early o clock that the marriage thing was not for me.

and yes i believe too that nobody shoudl get married before they are 35.

yes owen, love at first sight is possible. but "see mi and live with me it two different things". After so many years of essentially living on my own, I am a bit set in some of my ways. It would take a special type of man to be able to share my space.

the wedding ceremonies is for other people. I think about getting hot in an unairconditioned church...hmmm, maybe i should get married in Hengland or somewhere on the Continent.
