I was listening to Beyonce's new single 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)', and in the midst of imagining her gyrating in front of me, I just kinda realised that quite a few (ok, a LOT) of my cousies and close friends have all tied the knot this very year.
In fact ,as I'm typing this, one gal pal is getting hitched and I'm due to attend her wedding reception in a couple of hours time.
The ST just had this article coincidentally, today, about couples rushing to tie the knot to coincide with the holiday season and there seems a genuine attempt to out-do each other in the grandeur stakes.
Who has the biggest carat diamond ring? Who's wedding gown is most crowd-wowing and expensive? Who's wedding ball is the most extravagant? Who's entrance is the most fair-tale worthy awe-inspiring?
Indeed, who can put up the flashest and most spellbounding show of love and (love for) money.
Weddings these days, it's hardly about the love any more. Really.
It's about the most beautiful bride. The Prince Charming, his bride and her Cinderella-moment.
If you can afford it, only Haute Couture will do.
Q.... Divorce rates are up. So Fu*ck it, its all about the dress.
