Well...after 7 years ...for Legal Reasons...

[KichigaiNeko]

Anyway, back to the subject in hand. I would personally want some sort of celebration; if for nothing more than creating a memory. Nakedness sounds good, but just be careful closing the register after you've signed it, Zen. I've seen those books, and the image of a flat worm springs to mind.

Well gringo, feel privileged that we announced this move on AF.org.

We are YET to mention this to any family. And SHOULD there be ANY ceremony pics WILL be uploaded!!

I'm really not one for a fuss and neither is Zen.

Take a glass of wine and a chill pill Tiberius...no one has an attitude here except you.

I'm not the one constantly capitalizing words like "RIGHT" and then questioning whether I'd looked into something. I asked a simple question. You responded with the attitude.

No you will not my dear young one. Love has a great DEAL to do with it (hence the seven years) but...legalities are to be observed...we are not at Utopia yet little one so just calm the fuck down kid,

I'm glad love has to do with it. Your posts beforehand simply didn't reflect that (notably you saying that you are marrying "for Legal Reasons" and also that you don't need a husband because you are not a cow...not entirely sure where that even came from. Also, on the issue of attitude again, I'm not a kid. Kindly don't refer to me as one.

I don't think she's exploiting the government for benefits at all. Who says they're not in love? She stated her reasoning, only one of which had any inclination of benefits. You can't deny that marriage makes legal situations much more efficient.

Well it certainly looked like it to me. She states she is getting married for legal reasons, I ask what they were, and she lists a load of government benefits. I wouldn't have raised the question if she hadn't specifically stated "for Legal Reasons" in the topic header, and then listed a load of benefits when queried.

Agreed. Tiberius, you really made that sound like she is only in it for the benefits. Can you elaborate on how you arrived at your conclusion?

Elaborated above.

Of course, if I'm wrong and they are marrying for love, then I congratulate them and send them my best wishes. However, the fact that Kichi stated "for Legal Reasons" in the subject set my suspicions going, and when I asked her what legal reasons they were, all she listed were government benefits to married couples. She further stated that she has no need of a husband since she is not a cow or domestic animal. I'm not entirely sure what she meant by that, since a husband has no relation whatsoever to those things.

No Tiberius. You are the one with the "attitude", you are the one that launched into the "govt. benefits",and you are the one who took the wrong attitude to a simple fiscal manoeuvring.

Welcome to the real world little one.

Zen has preposed a 'marriage' ....

Now the question remains .."How do we ACTUALLY GO ABOUT THIS"?

I am in favour of the Betazoid method...ALL participants turn up Naked!

Thoughts?

I know I don't know you but congratulations all the same. My suggestion? Have a 'bigotted' ceremony where you invite a whole bunch of intolerant people, challenge their fundamental misconceptions and then pelt them with eggs & flour.

No Tiberius. You are the one with the "attitude", you are the one that launched into the "govt. benefits",and you are the one who took the wrong attitude to a simple fiscal manoeuvring.

No, I asked a question. You jumped down my throat. I've apologised for coming to an invalid conclusion, but I don't think it was unjustifiable given your wording in the thread. I've already wished you all the best, I do so again. I don't wish to continue this conversation further.

Welcome to the real world little one.

Cut it out. The next warning won't be verbal.

Congratulations! "May your first child be a masculine one!"

WTF is with the attitude Kichi? I asked you a perfectly valid question. You stated you were getting married after 7 years for legal reasons; I thought the legal reasons had something to do with the time period (maybe Zen had to get divorced, etc).

Now apparently you're getting married to exploit some silly government benefits. I don't support that at all. If I ever get married, I'll do it for love and no other reason.

Well, me and my wife kind've been joking around about getting a divorce, as it would be better for us tax-wise, plus if we made a baby she would get more benefits from being a "single" mom.

Anyway, congratz Kichi and Zen

You're so naive, Divo Tiberio.

You're so naive, Divo Tiberio.

How so?

She means a big cock

Congrats!

This will be a simple exercise in legalities so that in the event of me dying she will not be inconvenienced in anyway.

I.e the house would automatically pass to her. As it stands she has no legal entitlement to it.

That's as perfect a reason as any. I've spoken to my girlfriend about this and we, both being atheists, saw little reason to go through any ceremonies as such. We're going to sign on the dotted line for exactly this reason, security of estate if the worst were to happen to either of us. It'll be us, 4 parents and no guests!

Good luck to you.
