Me too. I liked her dress and am mega-ly jealous of her hair.
I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm the same sort of age as them, he graduated on the same day as me (though I was at a different better Scottish uni) and DP and I are at the stage when we're discussing marriage, future etc.
It must really suck for them, as their options are so limited. She's now going to live in North Wales because of his job, they can't just decide "right, we're sick of the cold, let's emigrate to LA" or something. Every move they make will be scrutinised (even though they try to remain low profile) and criticised - the arsing media in this country is brutal. For e.g., he chooses to give her his mother's ring because he wants to feel like his dead mother's part of it, and what comments do people come out with? "it's creepy" "it's like giving her a bad luck token" blah blah blah. Bets are, if he'd gotten one made, everyone would be all "how DARE he splurge at a time like this when small babies are starving" and so on.
And man, just wait til just after they're married. Then all the "when are you having children?" will start. Everytime she eats a largeish meal, no doubt the DM and Heat will be all "KM's Pregnant!" and when the time does come, if she doesn't snap back into shape before leaving the hospital she'll be called "fat" and if she does she'll be "a bad example to women everywhere".
As lovely as it would be to have a kick-ass giant wedding not paid for by DP and I, and to inherit castles and jewellery and stuff, I would not exchange my freedom for it.
