Rory calls off wedding!

Feel for him, getting the invitations printed ain't cheap these days along with international postage. With a bit of luck the inlaws (former) will have paid for them.

On a brighter note, that's the chains off he'll be down the disco tonight on the pull!
 
Haha… I seriously thought this was a wind up. Seriously like, with statments like “The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails." where’s his PR company. Sounds like some 18 yaer old on Little Britain.
 
Better he call it off than get married when he doesn't want to and immediately regret it.

100% agree with this.

It must have been a very difficult decision and it is better to put this to rest than to go on to marry someone only to get it enulled or a divorce not long after.

Rory has made some mistakes, who hasn't, but I believe this was the right thing to do in this situation.

Also - I'm sure he would have spoken to Caroline and explained the whole situation first, I'm sure his and her whole family knew about this first, before he shared a limited amount of information with the press.

I'm predicting they'll both be on Jeremy Kyle next season- mark my words:smirk:
 
Why is he getting insulted purely because he has decided to end a relationship ?!

For me it's the way he's ended it and the reason he's given. “The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails". This guy has a PR Company looking after, well PR, and he comes out with a comment like that. Just reeks immaturity.

I think everyone is reading into this too much in terms of what he said to the press.
He has his reasons and called off a wedding that he had major doubts about - that doesn't sound immature to me. In fact, that sounds pretty level headed.
 
Seems like a lot going on, & wrong, in his life at the moment.

Imo, it was the 'Deal' with Nike that started the rot, and the resultant pressure that it brough, Club changes etc, and who knows whether he'll ever dominate like everyone expected, such is the pressure.

I think that 'Pressure' manifests itself in his whole life, and his relationships etc, and I feel sorry for them both as a result.
She seems to worship the ground he walks on, and were his life 'simpler' somehow, I'm sure he'd be feeling like the cat that got the cream being with her, - lets face it, he's punching somewhat above his weight .....no ?

25 aint 'that' young, I was married at 26, and my wife 23, and we're still together 25yrs later, but I do agree, sending out invites and then breaking it off so quickly seems very immature indeed.

But, if thats 'really' the way he feels.........

I only hope that she moves on and doesnt give him a chance to do this again, she seems very nice and any 23yr old girl doesnt deserve that happening once, let alone twice.
 
At the end of the day who are we to criticise anything he does. For all we know he might have come home to find some bloke hanging out the back of her and decided to end it delicately for both their sakes. We will never know.
Good luck to the man. At least he didnt go sleeping aroud with waitresses

What I'm getting at is he's a World golfing icon with a PR Team/Company around him, who has split with a childhood gf, got back together and announced his undying lover for and then splits 2 weeks later. Then he meets a tennis star where his relationship has been on/off, and then engaged and finally, but sadly ends. Now, bear in mind the guy has a PR Team around him, who I can only guess he's bypassed to come out with a statement that just reeks childish, small mindedness and lacked class. It's absolutely nobodies business why they split, that's between them, and to come out and say we split because he got cold feet over the invitations.

If that whole scenario doesn't appear to be immature then I'm a dutchman.

All he had to say was, we've decided to end our relationship due to personal differnances.
