Cof E is very different, Half of my family is CofE and half Catholic (I am Catholic, vaguely) in Catholicism they definitely have not, obviously still no female priests or gay marriage, and I went to the wedding of a friend of mine who had already had a child (with the man she was marrying) and the child was ignored during the whole ceremony, lots of mentions of "when you have children in the future", thank god the child was too young to understand

An Irish influencer (he has a thread here) who is a married gay man with a baby through surrogacy just got the baby baptised in a Catholic Church. The church might not allow gays to get married or allow women to be priests but they’re losing members so they’ll usually just be welcoming to whoever is interested in joining because they’re desperate to keep numbers up. I know plenty of unwed/single mothers who’ve had catholic baptisms or marriages, and there’s also a not-insignificant number of ‘lgbt catholics’ (i can’t even imagine). I think it depends on the parish and how traditional the local priest is a lot of the time.

Looks like she might be staying with him in France too. There's a dog so maybe he has family there.

Yes, looks like it! At this point I’d know the back of this head anywhere

Assuming she was with her boyfriend, I wonder if it’s a religious thing that she doesn’t share a room with him? Looked like it was just her in the hotel room

Most people I know from church wouldn't share. It's also just possible though that if they were there with his family then he might have had to share a room with a parent/brother/etc.

Yeah but it's going to be more awkward if you get married first and then find out you don't get on when living together...
Each to their own but I couldn't imagine getting married to someone without living together first. Living and running a home together is a very different vibe to just going on dates and going round to each others places.

I don't really understand why people think a divorce is so difficult. Me and my partner have very intertwined finances, sorting that out would be difficult whether we were married or not. A divorce is just a legal thing, all of the finances is the bit that's difficult and that needs to be sorted either way

Yeah but tbf the point is, if you moved in with your partner and was like hmm not for me, you could’ve easily walked away. If you’re moving in with them them for the first time after you’ve got married, yes you can still leave but you’ve also got a messy divorce on your hands lmao

The divorce is just the legal bit, the other stuff involved is difficult to sort out, which needs sorting either way

Has she confirmed she has a boyfriend yet? Last I heard there was speculation about her seeing a guy but since she hasn't mentioned anything about it or said if she's in a serious relationship or just casually dating.

It’s so weird how being a homemaker is vilified, like the woman has a lobotomy and is chained to the kitchen sink in a subservient role.

Not going to lie, I wish I’d gone down the homemaker route at Grace’s age rather than chasing down a career and leaving pregnancy to my early 30s. I’ve been to more places and developed more meaningful friendships and hobbies since becoming a mum with a basic part time job than I ever did in my ultra competitive “professional” job (which was just a ball of stress that I resented).

Omg literally. I’m 25 and have been with my partner for 7 years, we are very settled together and I really want us to have a family but I’m still at uni and will be for the next 2 years I really love my degree but I’ve not even started my career, and am no where near being able to have kids yet

I loved her video on discontinued stuff! Made me laugh for sure

 

[sourlemons202121]

I can't even believe she made a YouTube video about making a Sunday from a recipe. Wow, what a surprise that chocolate is good on ice cream.

 

[bumblebees19]

100% he was a missionary, this is what I thought when it was mentioned before, this is why I find the religious aspect of her family kind of “extreme” and a bit cult like

I always assumed with his teaching it was more of a TEFL situation with her dad. Is the confirmed?

 

[oshare]

Wow she came up on my fyp for the first time in about 6 months and damn she really fell off (not that she was ever really even on though tbf…) what is she even doing these days? Does she have a job?

What do you mean with she fell off?
YouTube is her only job, she still lives with her family

 

[Pugmul]

Guys haven't really been following grace for a while but does anyone know whose baby is the picture on her Instagram from September? Did her sister have a baby?

Also I remember when her brother got engaged or married and she had a childhood picture with his wife so I think they knew each other since they were young.

I wonder who her boyfriend is and hope she didn't rush into it because she's been single for so long

 

[emm]

She bought another version of her stuffed teddy because she’s too scared to take him to hotels after hearing horror stories about stuffed animals being stolen.

wtf?! in what world are toys stolen from hotels?!

 

[FriendlyRacoon]

This is hilarious because I'm born in 88 and thought the exact same thing- those big gold hoops and the chain

hahah at least she didn't go the Irish gal route with the Trump tan and nude lipstick!

 

[Kit123]

I think her baking qualifications would make her ineligible.

Would it? I just think her personality would be cracking to watch

 

[orlyb1310]

Wonder if her xmas dinner is any easier on the eye than that monstrosity from last year

 

[Kit123]

Wow, never imagined seeing her as a bride but she does look lovely. No pictures of the her and her husband?

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

I'm so happy she's engaged, but I never get how couples who haven't lived together know they are full compatible. My friend just got married (late twenties) and they both moved into together the day of their wedding - both lived with their parents prior. Her husband was used to being babied by his mother and doesn't clean/now how to cook and just lounges around, which annoys my friend.

Grace seems so childlike. I can't imagine her running a household.

I'm not married to my partner but I didn't know what living with him would be like before I moved in with him. A wedding doesn't really mean anything other than a ceremony and a party, the living with each other is unknown whether you get married beforehand or not.

 

[macrofriendly]

I think I missed it - why is Grace changing rooms?

 

[PcPlum]

if you're gonna monetise being single then i think the least you owe your audience is to tell them you no longer are. i like the way mia maples has gone about her engagement but they've been dating years so it seems less sudden. i think a lot of people who aren't aware of how her religion influences relationships would disapprove of how quickly things are moving for her if she did get engaged soon

Yes totally agree with this. I completely understand and have witnessed many Christian relationships and marraige. To address the elephant in the room saying she's no longer single but that part of her life for now will stay offline is all it needs. I think Grace's vlogs and content is a breath of fresh air but this sort of hidden away content is just not her norm and so viewers are like what! Also I feel like Graces' viewers would celebrate with her so much!

 

[Liz.Lemon]

I think he must be because that seemed to be who she was with in her newest video? The day out to the art gallery and then for dinner afterwards felt like a date to me, but also not sure if she would've filmed it if it was a date.

I think it’s the guy walking in front of her in Harrods
