Half Of Divorced Brits Had Doubts Before They Got Married

They knew there was something wrong

Instead of enjoying their big day, 49 per cent said they were already worried the relationship was doomed, with 65 per cent of those admitting they had considered leaving their other half at the altar.


But despite this, optimism about the future won out and they went ahead with the marriage anyway. And nearly 90% did not discuss what would happen if the relationship ended instead choosing to focus on the positives. Nearly half say they don’t regret their marriage despite it not working out.


While most bride and grooms spend the period before their wedding drafting table plans, picking out flowers and selecting caterers, a third of divorced Brits were struggling with serious nerves or ‘jitters’.


The most common reasons people went through with the ceremony despite their doubts were that they thought it was 'too late' to pull out, they were too embarrassed, they would feel guilty letting their partner down or that they felt pressure from their family to go ahead with the wedding.


One in six said they thought they would be able to get their partner to change for the better once they had exchanged vows and 42 per cent said they just hoped it would all work out.


The research, which polled 1,604 divorced Brits, was commissioned by family law specialists Slater and Gordon who have found that clients coming to them for advice on getting divorced often regret not listening to their ‘gut’ before they became Mr and Mrs.


In spite of their concerns one in ten divorcees admitted they had spent so much money on the big day they didn’t feel they could cancel it no matter how worried they were that the relationship would fail. Eight per cent said they walked down the aisle because they felt they should as they had children together.


Fifteen per cent admitted they had felt physically sick in advance of the wedding because of their concerns that they were making a mistake.


Amanda McAlister, leading divorce lawyer said: “It’s incredibly common for people to go into marriages with doubts. There can also be a lot of optimism at the wedding, but this can fade with time.


“We also have some clients who say they had an early instinct their marriage might not be successful and now regret not listening to that doubt.


“I would advise anyone considering marriage to think carefully, not only about long term compatibility, but also about protecting any children involved and their assets.


“We tell clients to be realistic and have those difficult conversations about concerns and worries with your partner as early as possible. It’s much harder to resolve living arrangements after a relationship has completely broken down if there has been no conversation about worst case scenarios in advance.


“Ending a marriage is a sad and difficult decision to make but it’s often made worse because people are left with the uncertainty of what will happen to their assets.


“It’s important to also be clear about what your expectations are of marriage and your partner in advance of exchanging vows.”


Only 36 per cent of the divorcees polled said they felt positive about their future on their wedding day yet only 13 per cent had thought about what would happen if they got divorced.


A third said they had discussed their fears that the marriage wouldn’t work in advance of the ceremony, with both men and women most likely to confide in a close friend or their mum.


Many divorced Brits admitted they did not think it would be a big deal to end their marriage shortly after their wedding with 48 per cent saying they believed a quickie divorce would be easy to arrange.


Nearly a third wrongly thought they could have their marriage annulled, while 17 per cent said they mistakenly assumed a divorce would not be necessary if they broke up with their partner within six months of the wedding.


More than half of those surveyed said that looking back they regretted their decision to go through with the marriage with 36 per cent admitting that when they did decide to split from their partner their friends and family were ‘not surprised’.


The research also showed that couples who had been in a relationship for a shorter period of time before they got married were most likely to have had reservations before the big day.


Forty five per cent said they had no idea their spouse would have a claim on their assets if the union lasted for less than a year.


Family lawyer Amanda McAlister said: “Getting divorced is not a simple process, even if the marriage hasn’t lasted very long.


“People should understand there is time, effort and cost involved when it comes to launching divorce proceedings or drawing up a separation agreement.


“Also, couples must wait until they have been married for a year before they can divorce.


“This came to light recently in the much publicised case of former model Jodie Kidd’s eight month marriage to David Blakely. The couple began to wind up their union by a decree of judicial separation. These decrees are very rare, but can be issued before the first anniversary of a marriage.


“At the end of the process, a couple remain married, but the court proceedings enable them to deal with financial issues and arrangements for children.


“If there are any doubts about the marriage I would advise people to think very carefully before they walk down the aisle as it will be much harder to separate yourself once you are married.


There are a range of steps couples can take to protect themselves ahead of marriage. A prenup, although not legally binding in England and Wales, can be hard to challenge if properly drawn up and can help to take away any confusion about how assets should be divided in the sad event that a marriage ends.


“As soon as you get married you open yourself up to a financial claim from your spouse.”Read more at:red prom dresses


Selena Gomez bemoans her youthful appearance

Selena Gomez thinks her youthful looks have restricted her acting career.


The 24-year-old beauty is one of the most recognisable women in the world - but Selena has admitted that her innocent appearance makes it tough for her to secure more mature on-screen roles.


She shared: "I could do any tomboy/teen princess movie in the world if I wanted to. I could do those for years. But I want to be a part of projects that have value, that really matter. And it's really hard to do that.


"Sometimes I feel defeated. I'll audition for a part that I feel very passionate about, meet with people, tell them I'm willing to go places. I think they think I won't go there."


Selena confessed she doesn't see the landscape changing for her "anytime soon".


She told the New York Times newspaper: "To be honest, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon for me. I think I look really young and image-wise, it's difficult for people to grasp."


Earlier this week, meanwhile, Selena admitted her "addiction" to Instagram made her feel awful.


The brunette beauty explained that her infatuation with the photo-sharing website caused her to feel "like s**t" - even though she has 114 million followers.


She said: "As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out. It had become so consuming to me. It's what I woke up to and went to sleep to.


"I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn't want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn't want to care about. I always end up feeling like s**t when I look at Instagram. Which is why I'm kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit."Read more at:cheap prom dresses


Has this dress been to more countries than you

2017-03-22 19:23:37 | wedding

While this may be where the garment was finally sewn together, it has already been to several other countries.


In fact, it's quite possible this piece of clothing is better travelled than you. If it was human, it would have certainly journeyed far enough to have earned itself some decent air miles.


The material used to create it came from lyocell - a sustainable alternative to cotton. The trees used to make this fibre come mainly from Europe, according to Lenzing, the Austrian supplier that Zara-owner Inditex uses.


These fibres were shipped to Egypt, where they were spun into yarn. This yarn was then sent to China where it was woven into a fabric. This fabric was then sent to Spain where it was dyed, in this case pink. The fabric was then shipped to Morocco to be cut into the various parts of the dress and then sewn together.


After this, it was sent back to Spain where it was packaged and then sent to the UK, the US or any one of the 93 countries where Inditex has shops.


From dresses to t-shirts and trousers, most items of clothing sold around the world will have had similarly complicated journeys.


In fact, they're likely to be even more convoluted.


Most Inditex garments are made close to its Spanish headquarters or in nearby countries such as Portugal, Morocco and Turkey.


This is what helps the firm achieve its famously fast reaction times to new trends.


Most of its rivals' supply chains are far less local.


Regardless of where they're based, most factories are not owned by the fashion brands that use them. Instead, they're selected as official suppliers. Often these suppliers subcontract work to other factories for certain tasks, or in order to meet tight deadlines.


This system can make tracking the specific origins of a single item difficult. I contacted several big clothing brands including H&M, Marks and Spencer, Gap and Arcadia Group last week to give me a sample example of the journey of a t-shirt in their basic range from seed to finished product.


Only Inditex was able to respond in time to meet the deadline for this article.


"I imagine companies don't want to respond because they have no clue where the materials they buy come from," says Tim Hunt, a researcher at Ethical Consumer, which researches the social, ethical and environmental behaviour of firms.


The difficulties were highlighted devastatingly by the 2013 Rana Plaza disasterwhere more than 1,100 people were killed and 2,500 injured when the Bangladesh garment factory collapsed.


In some cases, brands weren't even aware their clothes were being produced there.


According to the "Behind the Barcode" report by Christian Aid and development organisation Baptist World Aid Australia, only 16% of the 87 biggest fashion brands publish a full list of the factories where their clothes are sewn, and less than a fifth of brands know where all of their zips, buttons, thread and fabric come from.


Non-profit group Fashion Revolution, formed after the Rana Plaza factory collapse, is leading a campaign to try to force firms to be more transparent about their supply chains.


Every year, around the time of the disaster it runs a #whomademyclothes campaign encouraging customers to push firms on this issue.


Fashion Revolution co-founder and creative director Orsola de Castro says the mass production demands of the fashion industry and the tight timescales required to get products from the catwalks on to the shelves as quickly as possible means the manufacturing processes have become "very, very chaotic".


"The amount of manpower which goes into the production of a t-shirt - even at the sewing level, it goes through so many different hands. On their standard products most brands wouldn't know the journey from seed to store," she says.


While newer and smaller fashion brands are creating products with 100% traceability, she says it's a lot harder for the established giants.


"It's a big and complex issue to turn around and would require a massive shift in attitude."


Yet just over a decade ago, Pietra Rivoli had no problems tracking the journey of a single $6 cotton t-shirt she'd picked out of a sale bin in a Walmart in Florida.


Starting with the tag at the back of the t-shirt, she tracked its journey backwards from the US "step by step along the supply chain".


"A shoe leather project," is how Prof Rivoli describes her journey, which resulted in a book, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy.


As a teacher of finance and international business at Georgetown University in Washington, Prof Rivoli wanted to investigate her assumption that free trade benefited all countries.


Her travels took her from the cotton-growing region of Lubbock in Texas to China, where the t-shirt was sewn together. Eventually, she ended up in Tanzania on the east coast of Africa, which has a thriving second-hand clothing market.


Her assumption was that the complicated supply chain was driven by cost and market forces.


She concluded that a lot of brands' decisions about where to buy supplies and make their clothing was actually driven by politics. She cites US agricultural subsidies for cotton growers and China's migration policies encouraging workers to move from the countryside as examples.


"Rather than a story of how people were competing - how do I make a faster T-shirt, a better T-shirt, a cheaper T-shirt - what I found is that the story of the T-shirt and why its life turned out the way it did was really about how people were using political power," she says.


The current backlash against global trade is a direct result of this kind of political interference, she believes.


This kind of consumer anger could eventually drive change among fashion firms, she says. Prof Rivoli notes that many firms now list all their direct suppliers and she says there is a move towards developing fewer, longer term supplier relationships.


"There might be a little less hopping around," she laughs.Read more at:red prom dresses | white prom dresses


Givenchy appoints its new creative director

2017-03-20 15:43:53 | wedding

Givenchy announced Thursday on Instagram, the current preferred method of communication in fashion, that its new creative director will be Clare Waight Keller.


If you have not heard of Keller, that is because she is not one of fashion’s celebrity designers, the sort who are photographed on the red carpet and at glitzy events almost as much as the entertainers and actors that they dress. See, for example, Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing.


Keller recently stepped down as creative director at Chloe and showed her final collection for that house earlier this month. When she took her bows, she received sustained applause from the audience — not because her fall 2017 collection was groundbreaking or provocative, but because her six-year tenure had been solid, both financially and creatively. She had done her job quietly and competently.


Keller will be replaced at Chloe by Natacha Ramsay-Levi, who has been working in the wings at Louis Vuitton, and these two moves will mark a significant increase in the number of women leading establishment houses in Paris. Those ranks include Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior and Bouchra Jarra at Lanvin.


At Givenchy, Keller follows Riccardo Tisci, who departed the house in January; he blessed her appointment by leaving a heart emoji on the Instagram announcement, so it seems that this game of designer musical chairs is a good-humored one. Indeed, for fall 2017, Givenchy offered a collection of Tisci’s greatest hits — a selection of classic looks pulled from his 12 years at the house. Each will be offered in red, black or beige.


If it is possible to select a designer whose aesthetic is the opposite of Tisci’s, then Givenchy has accomplished that with Keller. Tisci’s sensibility was rooted in Gothic romance: dark and moody, with a hint of danger. It was sexy. Tisci never let Givenchy’s history of Audrey Hepburn’s clean-lined elegance stop him from pursing collections inspired by cholo culture or the subversive photography of Guy Bourdin.


And it was regularly worn by various members of the Kardashian-West clan. It’s hard to put a price tag on the value of that relationship and its ability to stir pop culture and social media buzz. The Kardashian’s loved Tisci’s version of Givenchy. And the cameras adore the Kardashians. Either you will revel in that or turn away out of sheer zeitgeist exhaustion.


Keller’s work has always been akin to fresh air and blue skies. Certainly, part of that was because of the history of Chloe, rooted in high-end bohemia and eccentricity. It’s the sort of sensibility that has attracted bold-face names such as Solange Knowles. This switch suggests that the house is looking for less darkness and more sunshine. It is a new day. And one that does not seem to include the house being a supporting character in the Kardashian show.Read more at:http://www.marieprom.co.uk | prom dress shops
