Until recently, I never saw the point of eloping. It seemed underwhelming to get married without your loved ones there to celebrate.
To me, elopements were what you went to Gretna Green for. And that’s miles away – you probably have to take at least two trains. But that was before I did it myself.
I got engaged during the pandemic. We planned our wedding in the glow of optimism that existed in the brief period in between lockdowns last September. ‘It’ll probably all be over by Christmas,’ we told each other, gambling that our hope would win over scientific evidence. The ceremony was organised for 10 December with ten guests, aware that social distancing measures might be in place.

I’m old enough to remember the hit TV series Supernanny. The premise was simple: a childcare expert would be parachuted into a different dysfunctional family each week to sort out their parenting issues.
Raging toddlers would become calm and capable of sleeping through the night. Recalcitrant adolescents would be put to work carrying out a rota of chores. By the end of the week, the family would be breathlessly grateful to Supernanny (a heroically capable woman called Jo Frost) for saving their collective sanity.

The 1990s was an interesting decade. They were my teenage years, I learned to drive, had my first boyfriend and started experimenting with what kind of adult I might become.
Culturally, I remember this as an era when young women were encouraged to believe they could do anything and have it all. We were told that feminist battles had been waged and won and that we now lived in a world where young men and women could believe in equality between the sexes.

From richard grosso (@rjgro):
why are some saying WR is still a need? would you think RB, sideline-sideline LB and C the biggest needs right now?
I haven t seen anywhere anybody saying that WR is still a need and that would be absurd, in my opinion. I mean, exactly how many wide receivers do they need? As for biggest needs now, I d go C, RB, RT, LB in one order or another (pretty close).
