[quote]"I don't know anyone who marries someone different every few years."

There are quite a few out there.

------------->> Yup.. there's a 50% divorce rate. It's pretty likely people have multiple marriages.

"Who knows any married people who don't have a wedding picture up ?"

I did not have wedding pictures of either of my weddings up for public display.

------------>. Me either. Neither did my parents, or either of their parents. My father's parents had a picture of their SON'S wedding up.. but not THEIR wedding. My other grandparents never had a wedding picture up, nor did my great-parents that I can recall.

since I know I'll get battered b/c I've been married multiple times, I'm the only person in my family to actually GET divorced (for the record, my parents, though separated are still legally married). My great grandparents were married for.. 70.. years. My grandparents nearly 60. My parents, 43 before separating and my uncle and aunt have been married about that now (also no pics up). Oh and ex's parents don't.. and I don't recall any wedding pictures at his father/stepmother's house either. Ex is 40... so they've all been remarried now in their respective 2nd marriages... 35 years? About that. So hardly "every few years" changing spouses.

So what if you went to a studio and TOOK wedding pictures, but never actually got a marriage license? Because what I am seeing is an AWFUL lot of importance attached to a lousy piece of paper. [/quote]

----------->> and having PICTURES to put on walls evidently. Maybe a difference of philosophy but one I know ex shares... we know what WE look like. We see ourselves in the mirror every day. I'd prefer to look at ART on my walls. I'm not art, lol.

I don't know, I guess I look at it as vain? I don't need to look at myself every day, and if I'm married, I'm committed to my marriage, presumably, without having to have a picture or a license on the wall to remind me.

Have to say the funniest thing I've ever seen? An acquaintance of mine has her wedding portrait up. Except? She's been DIVORCED.. for like.. 9 years. And they don't have kids together. And she's not currently married. It's just so bizarre to me to have an enormous wall-sized wedding portrait of oneself on the wall... particularly when one is NOT married.
