A 33 year old man getting a little pop figure for his birthday. Standard behaviour that .NOT
And an overly flattering little pop figure at that, shall we say...
I think it was a relationship of convenience for both of them but the wheels are starting to fall off now they're married and the babies thing is on the cards. I think they've both woken up to the terrible mistake they've made, which is why Sophie had to run back to her Mummy as soon as she got back off the honeymoon.
Do you think that's why, even perhaps subconsciously, they deferred the wedding for so long? Most people don't leave several years between their engagement and finally getting married. Even though she tried to palm it off as being due to finances, I'm not buying that either. It doesn't seem like their wedding was an extravagant affair, the main cost would have been the reception venue alone and even that wasn't particularly lavish. (On a side note, did anyone else notice in their wedding vlog that they had a really unusual menu? Curry followed by apple crumble, anyone?!). I also have a feeling they would have had some financial assistance from family on both sides, neither of whom seems to be poor.
I get that some women aren't OTT Bridezillas (I don't think I would be either) however, I did expect to hear Sophie say in vlogs subsequent to the wedding, that she'd enjoyed the day much more than she'd been expecting to (etc). But no, nothing. The total absence of any excitement at all, even after the event, is really odd if you'd just married the person you claim is the absolute love of your life.
In my opinion it's a marriage based on little more than friendship and convenience: Dave because he probably wants children at some point, and Sophie because she's too lazy and introverted ever to have gone out and tried to find someone conventionally attractive. (Sorry, I know that last comment is harsh, but I don't think I'm alone in thinking it. And I do get that there is more to a relationship than physical attraction but, let's face it, it is important to any long-term relationship and is what separates romantic relationships from mere friendships).
In some ways, I actually do give Dave credit. Despite outward appearances, he certainly has more "get-up-and-go" than Sophie. I don't think I could be married to someone who is pure candyfloss between the ears, has no ambition and never wants to do anything that involves mixing with other people.
