Me and my bloody big mouth :(

I mentioned to a few people @ church this morning that S & I have plans for the future and rather than being happy for us they're pressing for me to get married before we do anything. >:-[

Why the hell should we?

Most of their reasoning was that it would be "right before God" - but that doesn't mean that a piece of paper required by the state makes our relationship right before the God we believe in.

Neither of us want to get married 9not yet anyway) - and if we did we don't want some big wedding in church with countless people we hardly know but "have" to be invited.

I know that I'd rather have some blessing out on the heath - in amongst the nature S & I love so much.

But why should we have to have a priest to do that? All we need is both of us and God.
