Till death do us part? | Sarah Young | TEDxUniversityofMalta

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to love, relationships and tying the knot. If we all knew in advance, where the next rendezvous would take us! Happiness and heartbreak, they come hand in hand. Like most things in life, everything slowly evolves, we evolve, we grow closer and sometimes we grow apart. Nevertheless, our personal development is something we are constantly trying to improve. What comes to mind when you think of marriage? Is it influenced by culture, a belief system, a bond never to be broken? Sarah Young takes you on a journey into the historical origins of marriage, the development of its meaning over time and how society and tradition are constantly influencing the way we perceive the happily ever after construct. Does divorce equate to failure? Perhaps hindsight is the only answer? Sarah Young, a luxury event planner, specialises in extravagant weddings and celebrations.
