English actress, Brenda Blethyn’s second husband, Michael Mayhew, got her engaged 35years before they finally got married in 2010 and she has explained why they delayed tying the nuptial knot for such a long time.

According to her: “We were getting on a bit and it seemed the sensible thing to do. Neither of us were going anywhere so it just presents a problem if one of us pops our clogs.” Age is beautiful. I don’t want to look like everybody else. I really don’t. Ageing is all part of life’s experience, isn’t it?”
