Marrying Same Person Again.
Other
Nadiya Hussain and her husband got married again after 14 years of an arranged marriage. I think that is lovely and so glad they are happy. It got me thinking.......would you marry your spouse again?
I don't think I ever want to legally get married. The thought of having it all legally written down scares me. Cute of her though - she probably wanted to do it again HER way, not her families. So sweet!
I totally get you, but tbh co-habiting can be just as scary. If you split you still have custody battles, splitting a home, agreeing maintenance etc. In fact getting married is safer because you have rights and in the event of death the survivor would be entitled to inherit and get any pension. A lot of people don't realise that the parents of the deceased are legally entitled to their child's assets if they are not married!
Lynibis I get what you mean. I do think though that marriage makes everything more difficult because of the title. If you have a boyfriend and split up with them, you don't have to worry about going through the battle of a divorce and all the paper work. You can simply announce that your not together anymore and thats that. When your divorced, you have the title of a 'divorce' which I find some people look down upon. Hey ho, maybe its because both my partner and I's parents are divorced so we're not the biggest fans of marriage!
I think its lovely that they want to do that I’m in the middle of planning my wedding (get wed in March) and not sure id want to go through all the stress again!
You wouldn't have to, the second one would normally be lower key, more private and more of a romantic statement to each other rather than the whole world. Hope your wedding is all you wish for Hannah, just remember it's about the two of you not all the external factors and other people!
Lynibis thank you I know, it’s very easy to get lost in pleasing other people but I’m very good at putting my foot down and saying no now!
We thought of renewing our vows on our tenth wedding anniversary but there was so much extended family drama we decided not to; sometimes I wish we had but it may be something we do one day.
Just sneak off somewhere romantic with immediate family and renew vows, blessing, whatever you believe in. Making a declaration of your love to each other needn't involve loads of other people, in fact how nice to have your own warm, snuggly little secret.
I’m always pleased when someone finds a good partner but I wouldn’t bother with a fancy expensive wedding. Just be happy and get on with your lives together and make good wills.
I think like most things opinions are generational with more older people still believing in and wanting the institution of marriage but probably lots more younger folk not thinking it necessary. I am of the former group but, having said that, I would not even consider marriage again at my age as I want to know 100% that my kids would get their inheritance not an old guy I have only known for a few years!!!
Pjran sadly, there isn't an old guy he was hypothetical. Somehow older men are in demand but not so older women lol!
She won the great British bake off a few years ago and now has loads of cookery books out and does cookery programmes on tv.
