Marriage is always a gamble. Why not just go for it?-dailytelegraph
This week Frances wed her weightlifter boyfriend Sam Loch on Valentine’s Day, after three months of dating.
The fitness trainer, 26, knew Sam, 34, was the one so quickly, they got engaged two weeks after meeting in November, which made headlines.
And yet here we are glued to our screens watching Dean, Tracey and co say “I do” with someone they have never met before, and in many cases should have left it that way.
Sure, it’s fast for Frances and Sam, but why not? They are obviously deliriously happy if you go by all their leaping about on the beach photos, so good luck to them.
Having never walked down the aisle with my partner of 20 plus years I can vouch it would have been better to do it in the first flush of passion, because now, after three kids, the only flushes I have to look forward to are hot ones.
Frances is in good company — George Clooney popped the question to Amal Alamuddin just seven months after meeting, and have now had twins. Benedict Cumberbatch got engaged after five months of dating Sophie Hunter and they have two children too. Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky married after three months and have three children.
There’s precedent in the family: Tony Abbott proposed to Margie just six months after meeting. “I think we’d both pretty quickly made a decision that we’d met somebody we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with,” Margie told the Australian Women’s Weekly.
Although Frances did admit her mum said, “You are quite impulsive,” to her news.
On Wednesday Sam put their wedding photo on Instagram and captioned it, “We’re the motherf***ing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers of love.”
“You both know when the time is right,” says Matt Garrett, manager at Relationships Australia (NSW). “Go for it so long as you are being treated respectfully.”
Admittedly not every whirlwind romance makes action heroes of the couple — sometimes it turns into more of a horror story. Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton wed after two months and split two years later with Angelina saying, “One day we had just nothing in common.”
