Wedding After Waiting
Mark Wahlberg finally married longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham this August after 8 years and 3 children together. MyRegistry.com wants to know what you think: is it better to wait until the moment is right or should the happy couple have made things official a long time ago?

In the case of people who love each other and have children, they shouldn't wait, that's just fear of commitment, but if you've got a child you need to put that child first and give them a stable family life.
In other cases, such as mine, it's merely a monetary problem. These days it can take forever to pay off student loans and debts, and most people don't look forward to starting a marriage with debt hanging over them, given that money is a major factor in divorce.
Why did he wait so long? I don't know if I have an answer to the question.
Should of married a LONG time ago...
Nothing changes. Married or not.
She looks pissed. Idk, I think they should do it when it felt right to them. She looks like she was pushed into it to me...
I don't think Rhea is happy on her wedding, cuz I can't see the "just married" joy and the "day-dreaming" face like other brides do, but worries. Well, I think a man will commit to a girl when he loves her so much. Man never waits to be honest, cuz nobody wants to lose the best! Now here, seems that they may hv just come to a point that they "have to" get married for some reasons, like for the kids,
I feel that u should gett married whe u two feel that the time is right...Its you that has to spend the time with that person. Marriage or no marriage they are tied together.
doesnt matter. as long as theyre happy. i dont want to get married, its not because of commitment fear issue but because i believe when you're in a serious relationship you already show your commitment there.
8 years and 3 children seems like they were already living the married life, just no official marriage certificate and ceremony. some women might want to get married and have that ring on her finger to prove his love and commitment to her while other couples remain unmarried but live together and they are still happy because they know in their hearts that they love each other and that's all that matters. since they've been together for a while and have children, marriage is the next expected thing to do. if both are ready for all that marriage entails, then get married.
up to them i suppose :)

Some people take longer then others to make that big commitment, it just took them 8 years so what. i bet u they will last a very long time because those 8years they got to know each other much more and they know what they really want. i think its good that they waited this long because that tells me that they are in it for the long run. good for them.
if it wasn't the right time, i'd wait. whats another few years anyways if you're sure this is the person you'll be with for the rest of your life?
ENTOURAGE RULES! - sorry, someone was bound to say it!
My rule I guess you could call it is to date or be with a SO for at least 7 years before even thinking about planning a marriage. My old rule was 10 years but that always seems to make people think I just don't want to get married. My thing is if you can't last at least 7 years in a relationship with someone how the heck are you supposed to make a marriage last.
Plus then there's the whole deal of marriage just for the sake of marriage. Rather be sure it's the right person than just get married for the sake of it. So for Marky Mark I think waiting 8 years was fine. Hopefully the marriage doesn't ruin his relationship now.
i'd wait. i mean when i have the money to blow it off on pointless, showy, shit i'd wait until after i was earning money and stuff. but i don't think i'm able to have kids. plus i'm pretty sure i'd have to wait for fag marriage to be legalized in CA. lol.
Married or not they can provide a stable family for their children. My dad and my... well his girlfriend, I've always called her my mom, are not married, and probably never will get married. They raised me well, and now I'm married and starting a very well off life of my own.
Marriage is a title with legal benefits and tax cuts. Not NECESSARY to provide love and raise a family.
i'm just wondering who we are to tell them when they should or should not have gotten married? obviously everyone's going to have a different opinion. me myself, i wouldn't have stayed around that long without a proposal of some kind, but i suppose i'm old fashioned, haha. i do, however, find myself wondering what difference a wedding license makes now. three kids, eight years together- how does getting married change anything there except legally? hmm.
:)
I think that marriage should only be attempted by those who are sure it's the right thing for them. I am a bit old fashioned and idealistic in that I think the marriage should if at all possible precede the child bearing but that's just a personal thing with me.
Marriage is a sacred union and I think that we tend to take advantage of it nowadays. You tend to see a lot of people rush into marriage and get divorced after a couple years because things don't work out and they wish that they could have waited a bit longer. Everyone is different. I think it's great that they finally tied the knot and made the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together.
They did what was best for them. I'm glad they are happy!
I don't think people should be pressured into making a personal decision because it's up to them, really. As long as they're happy though. :)
I love that everyone is analyzing a stupid picture and because she's not smiling in the picture AT THAT MOMENT, she must be horribly unhappy, blah blah blah.
Seriously?
1. If they truly love each other, why does it matter? Being married doesn't mean anything, it's just a legal piece of paper stating your love.
2. You don't need to marry someone because you've been with them 8 years. Everyone's different. Some people want to get married after a year of dating...and look where it's gotten them.
The children are one thing, I do agree that after three kids, there should be a marriage [and there was] but even then, does it change the fact that they have kids just because now they are officially married?
I don't know. But I'd rather wait 8 years, that get hitched too fast and regret it.
they should've gotten married long ago - what difference would it have made? plus they already had 3 kids.
they should have done it when the time was right... but if you dont know after 8 years if you want to marry someone, then idk. maybe they just wanted their kids grown up enough so they can see the wedding? lol! it doesnt matter to me when they got married, but they should have waited to have kids then.
with three children, you'd think they would've gotten married earlier.
I think they should have done it at the right moment just like they did. Although, I think for me personally I'd get married before having children. But maybe it wasn't the right moment for them to get married, or maybe they wanted to finish having children so that all of their children could be apart of the wedding? I don't know. And also what's the point in saying she wasn't happy on her wedding day, you are not going to be grinning in every pic are you?
