A quarter of individuals who are married now apparently regret getting hitched, a study disclosed yesterday.

What's more 15 per cent had concerns even before they said their vows.

With 560,000 people about to get spliced in this country this year, that illustrates that 84,000 might be about to do a bunk before the ceremony kicks off.

The survey also discovered that being in love was biggest motive behind saying "I Do." However other lovers walked down the aisle because of pressure put on them by relatives, or just to get wedding presents.

Researcher John Sewell is quoted as saying in the Sun newspaper:“People tie the knot for all sorts of reasons.

“But many aren’t sure they want to.”
