Mini Marraige Questionnaire
H has a questionnaire for her GCSE Religious Studies but as we're quite new to town, we don't know enough people for her to ask them the following. If you're happy to help out, could you please answer the following three questions?
1. Where were you married? (Please specify if it was a church or a registry office etc., thank you!)
2. Why did you get married?
3. Length of marraige.
Actually, I want to add a question for her.
4. Are you still married?
Thanks in advance!
[edit:] Her questionnaire is due in on Friday, so any answers up until about 7 p.m. (GMT) Thursday night would be gratefully recieved. She sends her thanks to you all!

Hope she gets plenty of info for her assignment! :-)
Mike & I decided to have our wedding & honeymoon in one and eventually chose Scotland. We looked at many venues for the ceremony, but they all seemed a little much considering it would be just the two of us (we had to pay an extra 30 pounds for witnesses!). Gretna seemed like the perfect place since it has such a history of eloping!
We are MacDonald's so we went to Skye and ate lunch at the B&B owned by Lord & Lady MacDonald of MacDonald, and also went to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival & Military Tattoo! We put 1100 miles on our rental car touring all over that wee country!
Loved every minute!
To be fair, his name is horrible AND I had already changed my name once already through my mother's divorce and subsequent remarriage!
