I do not know how you will take it, if you had to put off your wedding plans till after the 10th child.
But, one thing I am quite certain or rather dead sure - it will be a no way and walk out of it.
Yet, I am just very happy and light hearted after reading this article and the first thing that came into my mind about the couple here is "Unconditional love" which is quite absent in our realistic world of today.
So, what is your take on this happy account of love and family?

skysuccess, that's a very touchy story, and may this couple be blessed with a forever love..
what you said, is totally right, that the unconditional love between Racheal and Jay is something we should taken as an example.. they have done it for their children, and look at all the big smiles on their face, isn't them showing the value of the big celebration..
I remembered sharing this with my friends, that I will not want a wedding ceremony till the 10th anniversary of my marriage, as I wanted everyone to actually celebrate the happiness of me being able to find someone that really walk the path with me, rather than having a big big celebration, however later found out the marriage is not working good..
Nowadays, people take love for granted, and never really able to commit themselves in a relationship, and when it comes to marriage, not many wanted to work it out, and instead find the easiest way to just say divorce. I do pity those that been in a relationship for some time, however after a big wedding, you hear from others that they divorce..
I wish all the loving couple in MyLot, has a happy relationship, and forever love..

cher913,
Agree.
However, I felt that there are quarters that may not have any religious observance on their part and if there is any lack of commitment and devotions as exemplified by the couple here, then marriage will be nothing more than a mere formality.
Even, in marriage, the lack of it from either party will affect a relationship's or rather marriage stability.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

First of all there is no way I am going to have 10 children. Second of all why wait. If someone doesn't think a child is a life long commitment I don't know what is. I have three children and if my husband left today and we divorced we would still be connected forever.

That is definitely unconventional...I definitely want to be married before I have children...but as long as that family is happy and healthy, it's their lives. I can't even imagine having 10 children, I think I would go mad! LOL. But that was a very heartwarming story and her wedding dress looked amazing.

dreamr802,
I know and understand your point here.
I really had a special feeling for this family's account that I just could not help not sharing this. In a sense, sometimes we really need to put practicality and common sense before conventionality. Imagine having 10 children and not forgetting 12 years later, to get married. Just shows how grim reality could be for families today.
The family portrait is just so heart warming and touching to me.![](/Content/images/emotes/wink.gif)

Me and my partner will not be getting married for another few years and not until after we have had our third child, i dont see it as any big issue or problem.
we love one another we are happy we dont have a problem with how our lives are going or have panned out i find any problems are usually those of other people and i do not have the time nor energy to worry about how they feel about MY relationship
my children live in a stable loving family enviroment which is more than can be said for a lot of children that to me is the most important thing ever.

kezabelle,
First of all, my heartiest congratulations on your forthcoming third child and I am just glad things are working out for all of you at home.
This is just so happy and encouraging for me as if this were to happen in the times where traditionalists dominates, I just cannot imagine the consequences.
I am so glad for you and I wish all of you the best.
