[quote=Anonymous]First, congratulations on your pregnancy!

Second, is this real? At 35, you're a grown woman, for God's sakes. If you have the slightest inkling some relatives are "traditional" and grown upon babies before marriage, then why are you having heartfelt conversations with them? You should know what to expect from whom. You should know how to set boundaries and how to get out of conversations you don't want to have. Be rude if necessary!

Third, they're right. Get a civil marriage ASAP. NOW. TODAY. I know you're a modern woman and have therefore been brainwashed with romantic notions of marriage, but it is first and foremost a contract with legal and financial responsibilities towards each spouse and any children. You need this right away, BEFORE the birth, if anything happens to you during labor and delivery. Be cold and calculating when it comes to your financial well-being and that of your child.

Fourth, you can plan the romantic wedding of your dreams whenever you damn well want (ie, after breastfeeding and when you've recovered some of your trim waist and can fit into a lovely dress). Which means a year from now, at least.
