There is nothing wrong with dressing up and having a big reception for what one might consider the most important day of their life- provided they can afford it.

My wedding probably had a few bogan elements to it although given my hubby had been diagnosed with Stage 3C colon cancer a month before, we didn’t really care much, we just wanted to get married.
Married at the registry office in Melbourne (beautiful btw), we had an hour of photos in the Treasury Gardens next door and then off to a quaint restaurant in Moonee Ponds, where we joined our 20 guests (not bad, considering my hubby is Italian – still trying to figure out how we managed to dodge that bullet) for a wonderfully cooked meal. It wrapped up around 5pm where hubby and I drove to the beautiful Royce Hotel for our wedding night. We couldn’t take our honeymoon as hubby started chemo 2 days after our wedding but we were just glad to be husband and wife.

Hubby is OK by the way.

hahaha – only if you go retail. Seriously, who buys a diamond ring from a store?

Hehe. Nice try. Actually, I have made the choice- more than once. Just to clarify for others reading, I was making fun of mainstream thinkers, NOT lesbians, hirsute women or feminists.

while not witnessing the incident first hand, my parents were delighted by a drunken Haka at our cousins wedding.

your quote above “…I choose not to marry…” implies that you have had to make the decision at least once.

Therefore we are lead to believe that you are either a) beating them off with a stick (i.e. you get regular offers) or b) (as you put it) “a lesbian or an ugly, hairy feminazi”

I offered the former, you sarcastically replied with the latter. Based on this, I think it is obvious to all which category you fall into.

Ah, you’re one of those, “if a woman is single she must be a lesbian or an ugly, hairy feminazi” guys, I’ll bet.

Beating them all off with a stick are you Jodie?

Yes, but in this day and age marriage is unnecessary unless it is truly desired. Surely if a woman felt that way she would just not get married. I choose not to marry because I enjoy my freedom. I can’t imagine trading that for a tacky ring.

a lesbian once wrote it’s because marriage is akin to prostitution. It would make sense to charge as much as you if you were a woman.
