I see Carrie's suck up, Mickey Joe Theatre is launching his own subscription. I don't blame influencers doing this, but I don't understand why people actually sign up and pay them money for such basic content/perks.7

Especially when the perks are "ad free videos" and "early access to videos". So the videos will be available to everyone for free regardless so why not watch it for free 😂

Isn’t this self defeating?
Surely it costs money to provide these giveaways? Better spent on the charity?
I don’t understand the need.
People who are running for the charity are doing so to raise money not to be given some back (in effect) in terms of water bottles and clothing?
It doesn’t make me want to support a charity who would do this.

It encourages people to raise more eg someone raising £1000 just so they can reach a medal milestone (not all races give you medals)
 
She definitely had a halo effect around her for a while (Tom from Mcfly's cute little sister with long blonde hair who had some talent) but it's totally worn off. It's like the popular kid who had everything handed to them so they never work on themselves and eventually get surpassed by their "average" peers.

Like I was overweight with undiagnosed ADHD. What did I do? Worked harder than most to make up for my difficulties, kept up a gym routine. It pays off over time. Meanwhile you (Carrie) grew up naturally thin, pretty, and talented skating by on privilege. Thing is, what was exceptional for a teen doesn't cut it when you're up against 25-30+ year olds who have worked their socks off for years.

You give your notice in the district where you live, not the place you're getting married necessarily. So you could live in Nottingham but be getting married in Brighton, your notice will still be displayed in Nottingham Town Hall.
It depends where he now resides. If they now officially both live in carries house then they'll go to give their notice together in their local register office and it will be displayed for 28 days there.

That would be Hillingdon Register Office, Civic Centre, High Street, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 1UW

I just think you need at least a year or so to properly know someone and have big conversations, see them through a tricky time, go on a few holidays and deal with the reality of living together after the initial buzz has worn off. I could never have agreed to marry anyone after less than three years tbh, you simply don't know what you're getting into at that stage.

I can't stop thinking about this - have they talked about how many kids they want? How to raise them? Whether to send them to private or state school (a choice that is in itself a privilege to have which at least Carrie does)? Do they want to raise their children with a faith? What are their financial saving goals? When their parents get older, would they be comfortable with the possibility of living with one set of in-laws? What to they value spending fun money on - fancy meals/ holidays/ beautiful things/ or save, save, save? What do they do when they disagree with something? Do they even know how to disagree about something??? How do they resolve arguments? How do they split rent/ Carrie's mortgage? How will they split future financial joint commitments - 50-50 or depending on finances? Would one be okay supporting the other during periods out of work (always important but particularly given the nature of their jobs).

AND SO MANY MORE. My SO asked me the other day whether I wanted our future children to believe in Santa or not and it felt so funny that we've talked about so many BIG parenting choices that this small but still kind of important one came up. What to do if you have a jock child and you're both nerds (another silly one that we've discussed a lot!).

Some of these are happening clearly - spending money on holidays etc/ living together but have they had a conversation about it? I hope so but these conversations often happen organically across years - not in nine months.
 
Yeah I really don't understand her rush to get married when she doesn't come from a conservative culture/faith where she wouldn't feel comfortable achieving certain milestones (like living together) without marriage. Is it literally all so she can say she was married at a certain age? She's giving some random bloke access to all of her assets because of an underlying security about being unmarried (even when she is in a relationship)?

Swear to god it's to one up Oliver. Have you seen those TikToks that are like "when I post my wedding pics on Insta stories and scroll to see if that one guy has seen it."

It's that, but not a joke. Completely unhinged.

It's nothing to do with religion for many people that feel the need to get married before a certain age and then have kids. It's more them feeling society's pressure, which is no longer a thing nowadays, it was decades ago.

Confident women that are happy with their lives and with they are no longer feel that pressure to marry and procreate before they expire. It died with older generations luckily, shame Carrie didn't get the memo. She just wants to tick a box in her life's checklist. It's about getting it done, not doing it right. As with everything else in her life.

Sadly there are still many people that think you're odd if you don't marry and don't have kids, how you're somehow incomplete or not doing what you're on the planet for. Men get it too to be fair, mention you don't want to marry or are happy single and you'll always have someone tell you how wrong you are. Gay or straight, I've known friends be told that.

Yeah it's just weird given she... isn't single. It seems a lot nicer to savor milestones than to rush to one of the biggest milestones, imo. I know we all probably agree so speaking to the choir.
