Abigail and David’s regal wedding took place at the breathtaking Rochdale Town Hall

Abigail and David first locked eyes while working in Wetherspoons. “He was so relaxed and made me laugh with his sense of humour,” says Abigail. “Our shifts would fly by as we got to know each other, spending far too much time in the wash area together, ignoring customers!”

David proposed on Christmas Day in 2017. “It’s a standing joke with us that he’s unable to surprise me with anything so he worked extra hard to make sure this would be the ultimate surprise,” shares the bride. “We had gone to my parents’ house in the evening, and I was none the wiser. He got down on one knee seconds after asking for my dad’s blessing, and it was truly the most surprised I’ve ever been. It was so wonderful, and I’m pleased my parents got to see it as well.”

Marriage, Money, and Modern Love: Gen Z and Millennials

"As a family barrister, I spend much of my professional life dealing with what happens when relationships break down," says Rosanne Godfrey-Lockwood, Family Barrister at 4PB. "That vantage point inevitably shapes how I think about marriage — not cynically, but realistically. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that one of the most notable trends I have observed in recent years is the growing interest in prenuptial agreements among Gen Z and younger Millennial couples.

Expert says prenups aren't just for the rich and famous

Legal experts at Richard Nelson LLP are urging Brits to rethink who prenups are really for. While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.
