I'm unashamedly idealistic and tradional in my views of marriage. I guess you could say a romanticist. I think marriage is a glorification of the sanctity of that special relationship i think is out there for everybody. It's a symbolisation of the love and commitment you have for one another and a declaration to the world of your unity.
This is where i'm told to shut up, but i find the whole concept of finding that special one and sealing the bond with such a ritual as a comforting light at the end of a dark, twisting and unpredictable tunnel. It's a solidarity and a calm (unless you marry a twat, in which case there's nobody to blame but your impatient self) amongst a life full of the unexpectated.
This, i am sure, will all change when my future wife files for divorce and robs me of the millions ive earnt from my genius, but for now a guy can cling to his ideals.
