I used to believe that when a doctor got married, the woman that he got married to automatically became a nurse.

When I was very small, I thought my older brother was the greatest guy alive and when we played make-believe, I always wanted to marry him. I remember telling Mother that "I want to marry Jeremy when I grow up!" And she said, "oh no, dear, you can't!!!" I asked, "why?" She then patiently explained that sisters cannot marry their brothers and it was against the laws of nature. My father, a doctor, later explained to me that such things cause weird birth defects.

I used to believe that when people eloped that meant they were making babies...

I used to believe that a man actually married beer once. I wasn't sure how it could happen but I imagined a church ceremony and a bottle of beer with a little veil on it.

When I was five, I used to believe that once you got married, you automatically had kids. I once visited a married couple's house with my parents and thought it was strange that they didn't have any kids.

when I was five I was the flower girl and my cousin was the ring bearer in my aunt's wedding, because we were dressed up and walked down the isle together we thought we were the ones getting married. It wasn't until we were about 8 years old that we realized we were not actually married

When I was four or five my uncle and aunt got divorced. My mom said to court to
get "unmarried." Court to me was church, so I thought that they had a bad wedding
to get "unmarried." They wore ugly clothes and there were no flowers. After the
minister explained the vows instead of saying "I do" they would say "I don't."

I used to believe that when a couple was getting married, in their vows they said "With this ring I be wed" instead of I thee wed.

When I was little my aunt and uncle(mom's bro.)got divorced. I asked my uncle if it was his "x"-wife because she "didn't work out". I thought it was like something on a list--you're done with it so you cross it out.

When I was little I used to believe that all there were in relationships was just kissing and that was going all the way.
Poppa
Up until I was about 6, I wanted to marry my dad when I grew up. I thought this was perfectly acceptable, since we already loved eachother.
Anna
when i was really little, i thought when i grew up, i had to marry my brother. He was so mean to me that one day i went to my mom-bawling my eyes out-and told her that i didn't want to marry him because he was so mean to me.She assured me that i didn't have to!

I used to believe you had to get married if you were normal, so I had to get married to a man, because I was a normal girl with nothing wrong with me. Not that there was a law, just that you HAD to. Not that I had to be a housewife, just that I had to marry a man. I was nine when I found out you didn't have to get married (people had always told me before but I thought they were just making the unmarried weirdos feel better.)

Even into my twenties I did not know any marriage that had split up, let alone divorced. I thought God put an invisible sign on you that only one other person (your potential partner) could see, & you could see theirs! I met my husband 12,000 kilometres away in England.

When I was little I used to think that when you were ready to get married you went to this big room and just picked the man you wanted. I always thought I would pick Dr. Kildare.
Joyce
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.

MY FATHER ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT IF I DIDN'T LEARN TO COOK, NO MAN WOULD EVER WANT TO MARRY ME. I BELIEVED THAT RIGHT ABOUT UNTIL I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
