Many people will get engaged this Valentine's Day, but marriage is not for everyone.

Is it a true celebration of love or just a piece of paper?

Larissa Nolan describes herself as "actively against marriage", and she joined us to explain why.

"For me it always represented a sacrificing of your own independent identity and a loss of freedom, and not being with somebody because you choose to be with them, but because you're shackled to them."

Laura Cunningham, editor of Confetti magazine, is a fan of marriage.

It's absolutely a personal choice, but I think if you choose to make a lifelong commitment to each other it's a really beautiful thing. I think the wedding itself is a unique opportunity to celebrate your love and have everyone you care about in one room."

We were also joined by John Lowe, the Money Doctor, who explained some of the financial benefits of marriage.
