Nope. No pressure at all. I was still in school,I was finishing my BA
and a planned to get married after the last term was over. Meanwhile, I
was talked into sticking around for the Honours year. My parents were
dead set against it because she was almost 6 years older than I was.,,,,
still is ;-). Her parents did not know we were living together and I was
sworn to secrecy. Her father was older than my grnadmother, and very
conservative. Child came along 4 years later.

I'm so confused - the actual wedding, not the wedding. There are two?
I figure I'll catch the highlights on the news. I want to see her
enter and exit, I don't need to see them exchange vows.

Broadcast starts at 2AM EST. Hardly an "every day morning show".

The Bible! Because all the works of science cannot equal the
wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives who thought every
animal species in the world lived within walking distance of
Noah's house.

My first child came 3 years later. Marriage isn't the scary part,
kids are.

What do you want from her? I think everyone understands that you're
preaching history and she's referring to the specific period her
grandfather was mayor. If you can give her a better way to phrase it,
then do so, she's open to it.

I don't recall kissing the Queen Mother when she came to Ottawa and
we were lined up as Cubs and Scouts to line the driveway to
Government House. Nor are kisses required. Curtsies for the
ladies, yes, and salutes for the men in uniform, yes. Otherwise,
formality is considerably reduced these days. I certainly have no
objection to a monarch as head of state, as long as said monarch
enforces and does not transgress on 250 years of Canada's
Constitution.

Keeping it secret from the parents? Why, if there was no pressure?
It was the expectation inherent in the system, but you couldn't see
it.

What difference does it make? That was the number reported on the site I
checked. It could have gone up or dow couple million over the last five
years. It doesn't really matter. The fact remains that there are
millions of international tourists in London, and the tourist revenues
generated are mostly from UM tourists as you suggested.

The phrasing of that is interesting "My wife and I, although unmarried".
So you are husband and wife without the paperwork and/or without
religious sanction. What some would call on the fence yet you've
decided it's what you want your stastus to be.

I take it the idea of folks who do not live together before marriage is
they view the commitment more seriously than those who move in together
first. At least enough that it's a trend visible in the data.
