Hi, Moonmaiden. Just a little bit of advice. Before you laugh at other people's words you should check your facts. That way your mockery will have some sense.
You've been already been told about the Netherlands. I can tell you about Spain
-In 1970 7.2 weddings per every 1.000 people were celebrated. In 2000 there were only 5.42 and in 2015 there were only 3.3.
-In 2015 52% of the couples who'd been living together for more than 10 years were not married. If you take into account that most older people are married, it is obvious that most young people are not.
And even more interesting: 73% of the children born in 2015 were born from couples who were not married. Only 27% of children were born from married couples.
I have no data for France, but I'm sure that if you check the web you'll find that Charlotte situation is the norm between people around 30.
I don't know who much money are american wedding planners are expecting to earn next year, but you should take into account that what happens in your country is not an universal rule and in western Europe most young people don't get married.
And, now, about Charlotte. I don't know if this is truth or not, but there is a news piece that explains why she's left Rome.
Apparently she's not broken up with Lamberto but she's been forced to return to Paris because of custody issues with Gad. Raphael must go to school in France so that his father can be with him aswell.

No idea whether these are real facts or just speculation. On the one hand it makes sense, when you are battling for custody you can move permanently to another country without the consent of both parents, but on the other hand, it seems weird since Gad spends most of his time in the USA-
