Weddings

I'm going through a bit of a wedding lull at the moment. Essentially this is because I know very very few people who are in a serious long term relationship with someone they've met after university, so any time in the last 8-9 years. Those that are don't look like they are in any rush to tie to knot (the one exception was someone who met someone, got married and then divorced in a three year period - not a shining example). Since all the university couples have already got married, my pipeline has dried up somewhat.

Anyway, last weekend I was at a wedding party for someone in their forties - I'm pretty sure I was in the youngest decile of the guests, and also pretty uniquely single. This is not a situation I'm usually in - I just don't hang around late thirties/forties marrieds much. It was surprisingly enjoyable. There's something particularly ego-boosting about being hit upon by attractive women who have left their husbands and children behind and are looking for a night out talking to someone new..
