Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 for all practical purposes i am off thiis list still when i saw this on BBC today(which i will not leave till death does us part...) i thought of sharing it with all of you great souls... the question was where will you like to get married? ---Talking point a very interesting regular feature on BBC i love to read this is one of the answers: Half way up the side of a mountain. That way, which ever way you choose to go you either find: 1) Its all downhill from here or 2) Its all an uphill struggle or 3) You end up going round in circles, finishing up where you started. Yup - that about sums up marriage to me (Only kidding honey!) ) good wishes jaigurudev anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
