Latest statistics (published December 2012) estimate that 42% of marriages in England and Wales end in divorce. It is also estimated that:

34% of marriages are expected to end in divorce by the 20th wedding anniversary.

An additional 6% of marriages are expected to end by the 20th wedding anniversary because one of the spouses has died.

Therefore 60% of marriages are expected to survive to the 20th anniversary.

16% of marriages reach the 60th wedding anniversary.

The average marriage is expected to last for 32 years.

All England & Wales.

if they have kids they'll probably stick together. once you get over the sex, marriage is about trust.

Edit: and economics.

32 years is a pretty sick average.

Changed all he sang to inarticulate moan, Among her wildering whirls, forgetting him"

Goes to show how many old-folk get married too with 6% of marriages ending due to a dead spouse.

Or that just means that those are people that actually stuck together in their first marriage.

I thought I'd replied to this already, but it seems I forgot or just imagined it. So without further delay:

The whole wedding was quite the adventure in a mysterious and corn filled land. As for the speech,being the totally eloquent and skilled public speaker that I am I can safely say that the speech could be best described as "a thing that happened in both space and time" and lets just it leave it at that.
Regardless though, I appreciate the speech feedback from everyone! I took mental notes between flights and did my best so at least its over now :D
