I'm sorry, but the distinction between the two seems like a rather fine hair to split IMO.
And as to what a "true marriage" is, well, I've spoken before on my opinions of people who hold to a "one true way" mentality.

You object to others saying "You're wrong!" yet what you are doing, no matter how politely you care to phrase it, is saying that "we're the only ones who are entitled to call it marriage because we're the only ones doing it right!"

If I was saying it as confrontational as that then you may have a point.

But you've just said "I don't accept civil ceremonies as marriage, or any other ceremony considered as marriage which does not include what I feel 'qualifies' as true marriage."[/QUOTE]
Now it may be prettied up a bit, but as far as I can see that simply boils down to "I'm right, you're wrong. Full stop".

Believe me Graham, I will name names. I don't fear you in any way and if I have something to say about directly, you can be sure I will say to you.

Well thank you, I'm please to hear it. So I can not only hope, but now *expect* not to see any other vague generalisations from you about, for instance, "something that certain people don't like doing" in future posts?
