Dreaming of a White Wedding? Not for Singles over 25!
This year’s wedding season got off to a grandiose start with the big Royal Wedding and the nuptials of Kate and William were seen by many as something other couples might aspire to. A survey of singles now shows that a dramatic white wedding is not a big dream for the majority.
Most of the singles who took part in the survey want to get married eventually. In fact, only 20% would not marry if they had a choice. However, the numbers who wanted a white wedding are much lower. Despite 78% of respondents saying that they dream of marriage and 44% saying they expect their wedding to be ‘the best day of my life’, most singles describe their dream wedding as an intimate affair, with “our closest family and friends, a fancy dinner and a small celebration”. Only singles under 25 are keen on the big white wedding, while all other age groups prefer something quieter.
Over 65% would only marry if they had found “the One”. Obviously, that level of caution might be related to the fact that 85% of respondents think marriage changes a relationship.
Whatever their opinion on marriage or ideas of a dream wedding, an online matchmaking site is a good place to start looking for the right partner to marry. A recent Which? survey found that over one in five singles who used online matchmaking went on to marry somebody they met through the internet.

How to Get Married – Advice on Finding a Husband
Are you dreaming of a trip down the aisle, of the perfect dress to wear and the perfect man to say “yes” to in front of the altar? But is that dream becoming ever more unrealistic as you get older and the men you date turn out not to be husband material?
Are the men the problem or is your behaviour part of the reason you are having trouble finding a husband? Imagine how much happier you could be if you knew how to pick – and keep – a man who wants what you want. In short: would your life be happier if you knew knew how to get married?
This review of „How to Get Married After 35“, a book about finding a husband (for „older“ women who want to get married) was a really interesting read. The article gives a nice overview of the book’s chapters and the strategies suggested for finding a husband. There is one thing I don’t like about books like this (and we’ll get to that later), but there is one thing I like about this book and the tips it offers to women who want to get married:
1. It asks women to take responsibility for finding a husband (or a potential husband, at least) rather than telling them how to make themselves attractive for a man and then wait for him to take the initiative.
2. It encourages women to do some soul-searching to find out want they actually want and need from a man and why they want to get married. That way finding a husband becomes a purposeful search for women rather than a means to an end.
3. It clearly outlines the types of men women should steer clear of. As women who desperately want to get married are especially vulnerable to men who will make them unhappy, this is very solid advice.
Here’s the list of men to avoid when finding a husband:
