Lorna: I might retire early. I don’t know. I'm 55 and my husband retired last year. He spends most of his time in the garden. I’d really like to be there with him though I am not quite fond of the tasks. I'm definitely going to learn a new language. I hale going abroad and speaking English.
Cass: I’m only 26, so I’m not going to retire soon! In fact I want to have more chances to earn our living. Jamie and I are going to have a baby next year and we're really excited about that. We want to have a big family and live in a big house. Then, when I retire my children and grandchildren will all be able to stay.
Sue: Well, Roger and I don't agree about retiring. I love work and I don't want to retire! I know I won’t have anything to do.
Roger: I asked my boss at work recently and I might be able to retire next year. I might buy a house in France and spend the time that my family deserved to have with me long before. I'd love to have my first long-awaited visit to Paris with my wife one day.

I never understood why people think it's tradition to make you do something you don't want to for YOUR wedding.

If you don't want someone in your bridal party just say no. I have been/am being a bridesmaid in both my cousins weddings but they will not be standing up with me. If you think it will cause drama face it head on so people don't start talking behind your back and getting all worked up. Approach them and say this is what I'm doing, explain your reasoning and that should be it. I'm sure it will all work out, good luck & happy planning!
