She explains: "I think there's truth to so may of the clichés related to the whole love, engagement and marriage thing.

"I never expected to be a lot of things I've become, like a really gooey person. But I want to be a better homemaker. I want to learn how to cook well. I really enjoy making my fiancé, Joe, happy and doing my wifely duties.

"I don't mean to erase all of the work our parents did for women's lib - that's huge - but I love being Joe's girl."
