If you had your time again would you still get married?

So yeah?

Not necessarily about whether you love your husband as much as you used to, more about the institution of marriage.

And if you had a big party for your wedding do you wish you hadn't bothered?

Didn't have an evening do and wouldn't again. Wouldn't change anything except I would look in the mirror before the photographer started taking pictures.........

Yes
and what's more with regards to the wedding & party itself (100 people for whole day) even if I had won the lottery I wouldn't have done anything different it was perfect!

Yes I would

We had a mid range doo, it was very nice, we enjoyed it immensely but there are things that we wouldn't bother with next time

No the first time but yes this time.
Had the big white wedding first time and very small one this time, small was best

Most definitely, I can honestly say I love DH more now than ever, would ditch the big dress and make-up for something more comfortable and understated.

Most definately to the first question. I would certainly like to renew our vows one day.

Didn't have a big party afterwards (we got married on Maui; we had two witnesses and no family present) so the second question is not applicable.

If I had my time over again I would still not get married to my DP of 22 years.

Absolutely yes, and wouldn't change a thing - had a fantastic day. The ceremony was very meaningful for both of us, we had everyone we loved there and we also had an absolute blast celebrating afterwards.

Would definitely marry him again and would repeat the day just as it was.

Wish I could, then I could be with my mum again!

Yes. But I probably wouldn't do any of the other things I have wasted my time on.

Yes (but we've only been married a year, come back in 2015!)

We had a small wedding and I loved it, wouldn't change a thing

Yes I would, my marriage means a lot. As for the day itself, it was brilliant, but would change my dress if I could. It didn't fit, and although I didn't let such a trivial matter marr the day, it does stick in my craw a bit now.

My parents are divorced. My mum was sorting out old photos and found one of her and my dad holding hands on holiday. They WERE in love once. There WERE good times. And of course my brother and sister. And a dad for me. I'm glad they were married, even if they're not now.

Yes, I would. Got married to DH 8 years ago (met 16 years ago) and we are still very happy together. I enjoyed both my wedding in Kenya and my blessing 3 weeks later in the UK. Both days were magically.

I am a big advocate for marriage. There a lot of reasons for getting married, especially legal and financial ones.

Yes. Would have a different wedding do though. If I did it again, it would be much smaller and more personal and would have saved my parents a fortune

Yes would get married again in a second, mind you we have been married less than 2 years so would be pretty bad if I said no.

Yes I would have exactly the same wedding, it was a wonderful day and we got great feedback from our friends about it.

Now if you are asking if we had our time again would I have gotten pregnant on honeymoon, well that might be a different answer.

Yes.

I like being married.

We eloped. Two witnesses pulled off the street and lunch by ourselves in a nice restaurant afterwards.

We were secretly married for a couple of months.

Wouldn't change a thing.

I'm glad I got married and that we had a big wedding/party.
