NOW I AM A VERY NICE PERSON,BUT WHO IN THE WORLD PLANS A DATE TO GET MARRIED ,THEN ASKS PEOPLE FOR DONATIONS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD YOUR OWN WEDDING THEN WHY PLAN ONE? DOES ANYONE AGREE.
Yes, the only difference between living together and marriage is a slip of paper; a contract between the two sides that each person will take part in their responsibilty, and give the other party their due rights. So if I am selling my car, and you ask me to sign a contract, i'll just say, "hon, whats the difference, just give me the money, i'll give ya the car. Everyone knows i gave you the car, and you gave me the money"...a few days later, i call the cops and tell them you stole my car. What proof do you have that you paid me? none....but then again, its just a slip of paper.....
You are demented. When you are marrying someone, you are not buying anything. ANYONE in a relationship should have trust, without that, there should be no relationship. Signing your name to a piece of paper doesn't mean that that person will love you for all your life. It also doesn't mean that they will remain faithful. When you marry (or live together), you TRUST that person to remain faithful and love you forever. Marriage is a promise, but as everyone knows, promises are all too often broken. Love is not a requirement of marriage, and neither is trust, but hopefully both will be given without a second thought. People who live together do this just the same as people who a married. This is what love is about. If you can't see that, then you need to remove your blinders and relook at what love really is.
