So one of our friends is getting married. He went on holiday to Florida and whilst he was there he asked her Dad's permission.

It reminded me of the time I nearly got married. Actually it would have been our 1 year anniversary on the 9th September.

I kept the ring (even though he wanted it back), not because he gave it to me but because I like it and it will always remind me to keep my head and not be so ruled by my heart. Oh and I bought it.

Marriage is a strange affair, when I was a little girl I always vowed I would only marry for money, the love would come later - probably.

Nowadays, I am leaning more towards marrying for Love first. Yes, money would be nice, but I would prefer it to be money I have earned and not via a partner.

My other half has very strong views on marriage - its a waste of time and money. Maybe one day he will meet someone who will change his mind or maybe he will come round to the idea of being married to me.

I don't want to be married, I think I would prefer just to stay at the engagement stage. At least that is how I feel at this moment in time. Who knows how I will feel in five years...?

Anyways, I hope she accepts our friends offer and they have a long and happy time together.

Only time will tell.
