Apparently the ubiquitous ‘credit crunch’ could be affecting our desire to get married.

The Observer observed at the weekend – under the heading ‘We know it’s cheap…but we love it anyway’ – that ‘Living in sin’ was on the up, being:

“Much more chic – and credit-crunch friendly – than dull ol’ marriage“

As you would expect, I disagree, believing my own marriage to be the epitome of chi-chi chic (because what could be more important?!) but in the interests of scientific enquiry, I wondered how many people will be put off getting married by tightening belts…  I have often heard couples say, ‘Oh, we won’t get married for a few years yet, we have to save up’.

I absolutely agree that making a commitment to one person for the rest of your life is huge, and you should wait however long it takes before you’re ready to do it (if you want to that is).  But that you should have to wait until your bank account is big enough seems a real shame.

I know the average cost of weddings is going up and up but reading the stories of many of our ‘real life ethical weddings’ and the accounts of our blogger brides, it seems you don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune to say ‘I do’.

Maybe I’m just being naive… what do you think Barbie Presents: Thumbelina release ?
