How many weddings have you been to in your life?

I wonder, if you know, how many of those 40+ couples are still married?
I'm mid-late 30s so most are still married, I'd say about 10% have split over the years where they've just grown apart.
I think me or my wife are still in touch with all but one or two of those which is nice.0 -

Two of my own, three where I was a bridesmaid and about 20 others. I am in my 50s though, so over a good few years."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Not counting family weddings attended as a child, I’ve been to at least one a year since I was 21, I’m now 39. In peak years I went to seven in a year, including two in one bank holiday weekend once! I think I’ve been to at least 40 in total, if not more (including evening dos), and been unable to attend at least three due to clashes or travel. Only three of these weddings were family weddings (plus the one that was my own)! One was a second wedding (I went to the first wedding as well) and one other couple have since split up. I’ve been a bridesmaid four times plus organised a further two hen did and done readings at four weddings. I feel like I’m a professional wedding go-er! Only invited to two this year (and possibly an evening do), I won’t know how to fill my weekends all summer!
My top tip: use eBay for purchasing outfits. Loads of lovely dresses for less than a tenner if you look hard enough!0 -
Six- all family weddings.
Been bridesmaid three times- twice for my sister and once for my cousin. In my case the saying is true!*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200 -

One to my brothers wedding
One registry office one (a mate of the boyfriend of the time and said boyfriend and I were their only witnesses).
Two evening dos (one friends, one ex-boyfriends)
In my 60's.
No weddings of my own.0
