i would happily go to a gay wedding but would leave as soon as i couldn't tolerate certain things.
mainly ABBA and Erasure. that and poor quality booze.

I suspect that more people would say no when asked by a polling company than would say no when asked by a friend or family.

I'd go if I liked the couple. I wouldn't go if I didn't. I only know one gay couple in a committed relationship and tbh, i can't stand either of them so in the unlikely event they asked me to their wedding, I'd decline.

I really don't get what the problem people have with it is. If a friend sent me an invite I'd accept it just as quick as any other.

However, I do hate weddings.

Would the 20% even get a chance to say no? Why would any right minded person want to invite some small minded bigot to their wedding?* Would you even want such a person in your circle of friends?

*Unless they want to watch them squirm for entertainment value.

MrSmith, you are assuming that most friends of gay people are also gay.

..and like watching strippers.

I'm more interested why oral sex is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions gay marriage.

Public school?

I think he is just confused between gay men and heterosexual middle aged women...its an easy mistake to make and presumably one night he was out , he got drunk and well we have all seen the crying game

I'm very flattered, but you're already married. 🙂

It wouldn't work anyway Molgrips, we want different things:
You - A working VW Passat and lower speed limits.
Me - A worldwide Anarcho-Socialist revolution, the reintroduction of the Texan bar and the reformation of the Beta Band.

No. We all know what happens on stag do's, gay men are no different from straight men once they have had a skinful at 2am on a lads night out. I know a couple (men) with an adopted baby and what happened on their stag do. 😯
Obviously that's all in the past now they are responsible parents.

Oh, I understand now - you're a YOUNG PERSON. 🙂

2am on a lad's night out?
If I'm not in bed by 10pm, I just go home these days.

Could I marry my mrs in a catholic church with her in the white dress all young girls yearn for, if we presented ourselves today as we were thirty years ago? I doubt it.
Yes you could.

By the sound of it, your first marriage wasn't a Catholic Ceremony ?

If that's the case, then you could always have married in a Catholic Church as your previous marriage would not have been recognised as "valid" in the eyes if the Catholic Church, so you had never been previously married.

(If it was a Catholic wedding first time round, then obviously that's not relevant, and no, you couldn't.)

Forgive me, my whole post was on the assumption that they were getting married in church these days, just goes to show how little attention Ive been paying to it all, they are not, so I have no beef, not actually sure what the fuss is all about, just a change in description from CP to Marriage, I gather there's no other real benefits, but anyway that wasn't what the post was about, it was would we go and frankly wild horses wouldn't stop us, they do seem to throw better bashes than most. Lol at the stag night and chippendales, think i'd sit at the back... And for the record, it would be wrong on all levels even wanting to get married in the very church that would condemn you, that was also true for us, I wouldn't turn Catholic for the sake of a Church wedding even if they now say I could, my experience of bringing the rest of my family up Catholic and watching them deprived of help when they needed it most, it's a terrible organisation, not that the Cof E is much better although i still think they are a necessary evil until such times some other moral compass is in place for kids to start off with.
