I was married over 40 years ago in a Catholic church (I am a non-believer, so is my wife).
We did this so that my wife’s mother didn’t suffer a nervous breakdown.
The prayers, the ceremony the documents were all really irrelevant.
What really mattered was my commitment to my wife and 42 years later here we are with a close loving family and the recent addition of a great-grandson.
None of this required any intervention from gods, ghosts, goblins or any other irrational beings.
It didn’t even require a marriage certificate or a name “marriage”. Like my mother in law “god bless her” people are getting their knickers/underpants in a twist over trivialities about names, when it’s people’s actions and commitments that should really matter.
