He's not typical of today's yoof then. My cousin's getting hitched in the summer and they've been planning everything with military precision.

Congrats. How did your son meet your girlfriend?[/quote]

they met in groups of friends at various gigs around the city. They went out for a few years in their teens but broke up for 4 years when she went to uni up North. Got back together as friends and went travelling and came back as a couple again :)[/quote]

There's been so much water under the bridge now that I'm no longer cynical about marriage.

This probably means that I'll give it another crack soon. ;D[/quote]
