With this ring, I thee wed...

If you live in London, you cannot escape the wedding fanfare surrounding the second heir to the throne, William and Kate's big day tomorrow. I get a bank holiday to mark the event, so I am all for celebrating the royal wedding. A nice lie in, big breakfast and feet up on the bed while I watch it all unfold on my TV is how I plan to take part.

All these weddings got me thinking, about women and our innermost urges to nest and brooding. Despite the battles of our ancestors, to uphold the rights of women, fundamentally is that all we want to do? Find our prince and abide by our biological clock? Does every woman envy Kate? Is getting married and living happily ever after what every woman wants to do? Does it fulfil us in a way that no other happiness could?

From a very young age, my mum has always instilled a feminine independence in me and I have carried it through till now. It has fuelled my will power during dark, weak moments in my life and I always believed that happiness is in your hands not in the hands of a man who can provide you security in a hunter/gatherer notion. But as I get older, I am beginning to realise no matter how hard you try a woman or a man cannot deny the fundamental feelings we have, which maybe dormant at certain points in life, that a woman wants to nest while a man wants to provide. This create the ultimate fulfilment.
