Yes, I do. If I met the right girl tomorrow, I'd marry her in a minute.Don't misunderstand me - I'm not looking to get married for another couple of years, but I'm not running away from marriage either. I have never said this before, but inside - in the real me there is a family man. I love children, home life; I love decorating a house and I love going shopping with a girl. I'm ridiculous in grocery stores. I'd go into a market and buy all sorts of weird things that we would never eat!
 A good one - because if I wouldn't make a good one, then I wouldn't get married at all. Whatever I do, I try and do well - and I'd want a fantastic marriage. I have many short-comings (see above mentioned grocery store madness), but that's me - and if the girl I love really loves me, then she will understand.

It would be impossible to describe her physically. One day I might meet a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes and really dig her, and the next night I might have a date with a brunette or a redhead and think she is the greatest girl who ever lived. So looks are not a big factor with me. But I would like for the girl I choose to marry to be attractive - not necessarily beautiful, but I would want to be proud to be seen with her. And I would want her to take pride in her appearance. Now remember - appearance is something that is up to you - the girl I marry. I think you would want me to look and be at my best - so it works two ways. I try hard, and all I ask in exchange is that you do the same.
However, personal qualities are really the most important. I would want you - the girl I choose for my wife to be understanding. That is so important to me - especially because of the business I am in. I would also want you to be interesting to talk with and be with. That doesn't mean you have to be the smartest girl around, or the wittiest. It means you should be able to become really involved in our conversations, to really care about what I have to say and to have something to say back to

me - to be able to be nutty with me and then serious when I am.

I want a big, old-fashioned wedding - either in your hometown or back in Manchester, I want you to wear a beautiful long white wedding dress with a train and huge veil, and I will wear a formal cutaway suit. After all, we'll only get married once, so let's make it a beautiful memory that we'll cherish forever. I'd want your family and all my friends.
After a deeply moving wedding ceremony - in which we promise to love each other and protect each other forever - we would have a really grand reception. We would have hundreds of guests; two bands alternating between romantic ballards and rock and roll music, and lots and lots of food and drink. We would do all the wonderful things the bride and groom always do - cut the cake together, have the first dance together and entwine our arms for our first sip of champagne together. Then we would dance with everyone at our reception and make sure that everyone was happy and entertained - and we'd share our first party together until the sun comes up!

I would like to go to a place where I have never been. But it would have to be the kind of place that would afford us some quiet and privacy - any place where we'd have the opportunity to really be alone together. I would like for there to be a quaintness about our honeymoon spot so that we could browse through little shops and discover out-of-the-way places. I'd also like for us to be able to snow or water-ski a bit (don't worry if you don't know how, I'll teach you).

With no doubt at all, the most important thing in marriage (or life , for that) is love. Love is something that is hard to describe, but is very real and very personal. It is the foundation of the only kind of marriage I would want to have - something that you and I can share in and live in and grow together for the rest of our lives.
