I was with my fiancee at the time and was having a hard time of it. A best friend (Male) said to me "It won't change just cause you are getting married, it's just a piece of paper" That was some of the best advice I have ever got and 2 weeks later I broke the engagement.

I was already friends with my now husband at the time of breaking the engagement (he wasn't the one that gave me the advice) and not long after we started dating. I used to always say to mum as a kid "I will be married on the 2nd Saturday of September when I am 24 yrs old" and she would reply with "what if you are single". 9th September 2000 Andrew and I were married after 4 years of living together and 5.5 yrs of dating. I was 24 yrs old So maybe I got married to prove mum wrong LOL. 10.5 years later we're still going strong.
