when you think that 50% end up getting divorced
that's a LOT of wasted cash.

Not quite 50%

Luckily we don't all spend £100k on weddings

yeah, but the number is going up all the time, i bet it was about 2% a hundred years ago
the wedding industry employs a LOT of people, which is good, but imma guess that's not such a comfort to battered's father in law right now. or my friend's dad, who spent £250k on his daughter's new years eve wedding, which included a massive firework display and a 3 day free bar in the marquee. by april, they'd split up.

cracking new year's eve party, mind.

I though marriage rates were going down?

I know.
I think two of the couples won't last.
I really hope I'm wrong as I love them all dearly. But yeah marrying a gay man wasn't the smartest thing my female cousin has done.

D'you think he misunderstood about gays being allowed to marry now?

He does love her, but I reckon he loves the cock more.

50% of marriages may end in divorce
but people forget that some people get married loads of times 66% of my mums marriages have ended in divorce and shes just one person. So idiots don't learn after the 4th time. So yes Basically that stats are skewed because some people get divorced several times whereas others are too scared to leave their wives in case they beat them harder. Out of those 10 weddings I bet only 3 will get divorced and then remarry and two of them will divorce again and again and again because they are whores.
