My theory has always been, the more expensive the wedding, the shorter it lasts. Maybe in India they don't have a choice but to stick together longer.

A vicar once wrote a letter to the Telegraph saying exactly that that was his experience too.

Are we being cynical or merely realistic? I don't think I'm that old (early 50s) but I guess I am when I realise how my thinking has developed since my younger days. I read an article about "Staceys" this morning and was shocked at the lengths people go to in pursuit of "enhancing" their looks. Look nice by all means, but this kind of extremism feels like a complete waste of time.

Had a bit of a giggle at Lidl.
Was doing my shopping and there was a young woman wearing her gym chic outfit - you know, low slung sweat pants, cropped sweat top - very slim and well tanned, dashing about getting her goods. She passed me at speed on the way out which is when I clocked that she had used an elastic band to tighten her sweat pants at the back - a bit of the (below the) waist band pulled into a knot with the elastic band holding it secure. It struck me as the sort of thing that someone does if they don't think about how it looks to those behind them. I'm guessing she looked at herself in the mirror and thought she looked great. And she did mostly. Obviously the sweat pants were too loose but I'm not convinced this was the right fashion fix.
Reminded me of the ending of the movie Hot Pursuit when Reese Witherspoon comes to collect Riva from prison and is surprised at how good Riva looks in her prison gear. Skip to 1:38 for the reason the orange jumpsuit fits so perfectly.

let people be who they want to be - women should always seek to support other women in whatever life choices they make - big or small. If people like how they look let them be imo
