Catherine Middleton has spent almost 10 years waiting for Prince William to ask for her hand. Millions mocked her for waiting as she got closer to her late 20s, even dubbing as her “Waitie Katie”. But now the future queen of England has changed the minds of millions of young women out there by waiting until she was 29.

Since the royal wedding, many more women are planning to wait for marriage just like the future Queen of England did. A writer for Cosmopolitan named Zoe Ruderman has written an article on how Catherine inspired her to wait for marriage, which seems to be a growing trend now.

For someone who started off being mocked for waiting to start a trend now for what she was made fun of, is a nice touch. I have a feeling that people waiting to get married will last for a while now. After all, William’s mom got married young and for years people followed that path as well.
