carni 10,094 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Talking about are we legally married! Not sure if I am either? My family surname is 'Double Barrelled! (Don't Ask) lol. Dad always hated his surname and through out their lives him and his dad both dropped the first part of the surname to just a letter. Anyway when he registered my sister and me he just used the last part of the surname. We grew up using the double barrelled name, not putting any importance on it! So I got married under that name. It was only when I was filling in a police check form for a Position in a Hospice, that we realised the importance of it. I had to go (Quite Rightly) by the surname on my Birth Certificate. That is when I thought about my Wedding. oooh dear. Am I legally married. Hope So! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Carni, I think the legality of your marriage is probably the least of your problems! I don't know how you'll get on if you ever need to buy a house, get a new library ticket, blow your nose or any of the other thousand and one things for which you now have to jump through the flaming hoops of identity checks first. I guess you could even be deported when they find out .............. back to Gedling ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 No more house buying for us! Would make the effort though if it meant coming home to Gedling! Hope my library ticket is valid under my married name I wonder what Canon Watson would make of us? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 First time met in 1963 at a Monday night dance at the YMCA on Shakespeare street. I was 18 she was 17. Married Sept 11 1965, 20 and 19. We'd still be married if she hadn't gorn and died on me in 1999. Anyway we had 33 great years, she was a true lady. Had to be to purrup wi me! Second time December 2001. That will be 13 years this December. I'd better not forget like I did at the 10 year mark. :-(. Another fine lady. Both of us widowed, met online. (Long story). Not sure how long this will last. The way this old dog feels some days might not be long. (Being so cheerful keeps me goin'!). :-) 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,139 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I THINK its SAD if anyones been married 30/40/50 years and consider it to have been an 'Endurance test' we pass this way but once! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's an endurance test for both parties and consists of mutual tolerance much of the time. Anyone who says they've been married for the terms you mention and say they've never had a good row are liars. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Depends what you mean by "a good row." In the course of the years there have been some disagreements. Some of them pretty major. I do not recall what i would call a row though. I tend to think of a row as cussing and maybe nasty comments about the other party. Usually leads to more hard feelings and bitterness. Simplest response is "Yes ma-am". (Just kidding) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Re #44. We do NOT pass this way but once. One can be married several times and be happy, but things do go wrong. One doesn't always choose the best partner first time, or the second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
