When I was little I used to believe that to get divorced, you had to get all dressed up again, have all your family and friends present but this time walk backwards down the aisle of the church, afterall to get married you had to walk forward down the aisle....I believed this until one day I mentioned it to my mum and she explained how it really works...mind you my way sounds way better!

Wedding planner

I used to believe that my cousin and I were married, because we were ring bearer and flower girl at a wedding. She was five, I was four.

Greg

I used to believe that I could marry my dad and i would always talk about marrying him when I grew up

When I was little, I thought that you had to marry someone who was born on the same date as you.

Lauren

I used to think that a bridal shower involved pouring water on the bride, or sticking her in the shower and turning on the water. I could never figure out why anyone would want to have one.

Good Clean Fun

I used to believe that boys married boys and girls married girls, and I argued that one with my mom for quite awhile...yeah...that really explained why my mom is a woman and my dad is a man...

Stupid girl

I used to think that you couldn't kiss someone until you got married. I thought that when the bride and groom kissed that was their first kiss. I was 7 years old.

Ann

I used to think that couples shared their first kiss when the priest said "You may kiss the bride". It was weird because I had seen several movies where people had kissed and weren't married.

When I was before the age of five, I used to believe when a couple married, they would totally change their names. So when my aunt would call my mom, Jean,I would think,"hmmm, I wonder what her name was before she was married?

Gretchen

I used to believe that unless you got married, you had to become a nun! Scary!

Kate de Cesare

I used to think that I would live with my parents until I turned 20, then my mom would put me in a wedding dress and kick me out. Then I thought I would run into some random guy, tell him my name, he'd tell me his. Then I ask if he's a good person, he'd ask if I was a good person, and if both said yes, we'd get married later that day.

Tori

I used to think that once I got married, I wouldn’t see my family anymore. I was so worried, I wanted to marry my brother! lol we were kids and we were best friends. We didn’t want to be separated.

not a redneck!

When I was about 10 or 11 I was playing house with a couple of other girls. Of course we had to make up stories about where our husbands were because they weren't around. One girl said her cousin had a baby without being married; the other friend knew this was "bad". I thought about it for several days before I decided that God had made a mistake and given the cousin and her boyfriend a baby because they were so much in love and He hadn't realized they weren't married.

Julie

When I was younger, I believed that getting married was something that everyone had to do when they got to a certain age (like buying a house) and that when adults had boyfriends or girlfriends, it was because they had gotten divorced and needed someone around while they looked for a new spouse and they were going to get rid of that boy/girlfriend as soon as they found one.

I used to believe that you got married right after you finished high school or college.

I used to believe that, because my parents were 4 years apart, every couple had to be four years apart to get married, and that the man ALWAYS had to be older.

Sarah

My parents had their house built when they got together. Based on this, I thought that everyone's parents had built the house they lived in when they got married. I thought that when people died, their house was torn down so that a married couple could build their own house there.

Andrea

I used to believe that the way you went from being a Prince to a King was to get married, since at the end of fairy tales, the girl married the prince, and then he became a king. I just figured the two events were connected.

Kate

I used to believe that when married couples went on their honeymoon they were actually going to the moon, I always wanted to get married because of that.

Anon

I read a book once, as a kid, in which someone who was marrying someone else said "he's dark-haired and I'm blonde. Admirable". As a result, I thought that this was the best possible arrangement, while marriages in which both parties were blonde or brunette were somehow inferior, and marriages between blonde men and brunette women were perfectly impossible.
