The Languish marriage poll

[HVC]

Never married and undecided. i have no strong feeling one way or another. if it happens it happens.

Marriage isn't usually the sort of thing that happens to you without your input. 

Shotgun wedding!

Among your kind, this is "usual"? 

Actually, yes . Portuguese people have the propensity to put the cart before the horse as it were. But i have a back up plan. If the need arises i plan on moving to Mexico and changing my name to Paco. Fool proof!

[Valmy]

Not married, no intention of doing so but like Drakken I might be shotgun married by the SoC.

Any particular reason why not?  Not even for tax reasons or whatever?

You should go to Brazil.  Better parties.

I am what the Quebec calls, a De Facto Union. For Tax purposes, it's the same as been married. The big differences have to do with what happens at separation/death.

There is no need for me to get married. I just see it as an expense of thousands of dollars that I could use for other stuff, like, buying an house.

Mexico is easier to enter without a passprt (no paper trail!) and until recently less likely to kill me.

Could just di the city hall marriage thing. No giant party.

My friend did the giant party thing, what a waste of cash. Of course it wasn't her cash, but still - cost well over $100K. I'd rather have the money ...

There are still good places in Mexico. The violence is mostly in certain areas.

I was talking about the legal thing not the party.

[Ideologue]

Never married.  Will never marry.

What's this all about?

[Jacob]

Oh and, married and happy about it.

I don't know why I would want to do that without having the party.

Basically De Facto spouses aren't giving the same protections in Quebec that they get in Common Law jurisdiction. There's a case before the SoC trying to change that, usually call Eric vs Lola (really Guy Laliberté vs one of his ex, a brazilian hottie).

Oh, I don't know. My marriage ended up costing me all my money (thankfully not a lot), so if I do remarry it will be to reverse that process.

I was married, then divorced.  Luckily we were young and poor enough that it didn't really cost me anything besides some bath towels and silverware.

Five years later we got back together, but didn't re-marry.  Shockingly it didn't work out that time either.  Now I am single but the thought of dating is no longer revolting, not likely to remarry but who knows.
