Once again, I agree. My parents were also married in a registry office despite my maternal grandmother making a huge stink about it, and are fierce defenders of civil marriage as an equally important institution. Especially as they are still happy together after 42 years whereas my Mum's cousins and neices who had Church weddings are all divorced.
