We got married after the birth of our second child...mainly because my hubby wanted to, I wasn't bothered because as far as I was concerned we were committed, we had a house, mortgage and children plus being married isn't a surety that your relationship will last. I'm glad we did, my wedding day was a blast and the tax man gave us more relief so we were better off!<BR/><BR/>Funnily enough my youngest two are jealous that they dont remember the wedding (one wasn't born the other was 3 months old), whereas the eldest remembers some of the details very well such as the strawberry soup.Beccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911316644797253921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614620664469647965.post-8826324797139471062007-08-20T02:15:00.000-04:002007-08-20T02:15:00.000-04:00Wow, I know my husband's parents get a little itch...Wow, I know my husband's parents get a little itchy when asked about their wedding date. My husband was born 'premature' weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs. Cough cough. But that was 'way' back when. I'm gathering by your children's ages you aren't ancient so I'm shocked people would still 'judge' about something so trivial in this day and age. I guess 'judging' never goes away.
