still hasn't given up on him. she hopes this fifth time, there would be

Enjoy reading ...
The preparations
for a perfect summer wedding had begun. One of London’s most opulent
venues had been booked and the bridal gown - a strapless,
ballerina-length silk confection from Elizabeth Emanuel - stood ready on
its mannequin.
A stack of embossed invitations had been printed and 90 guests had marked the date in their diaries
The
wedding of model Susan Sangster to actor Frank Mughan promised to be a
magnificent occasion. The reception was to be at the Hurlingham Club, a
grand neo-classical mansion beside the Thames at Fulham.
As the
big day in August 2008 grew closer, Susan’s excitement increased: she’d
waited until she was 37 to marry and was certain Frank - cultured,
charming and 24 years her senior - would be a loving and dependable
husband as well as a devoted dad to her son Luke, then six, from an
earlier relationship

But
she’s never had a chance to find out because just as she was poised to
address the invitations, Frank decided he did not want to get married
after all - at least not yet. It was all too much, too soon, he said.
He
suggested the wedding be downgraded to an engagement party. That way
the glorious venue - for which they had paid £5,000 - would not be
wasted.
Susan was understandably bereft. She and Frank had known each
other for almost a year; the decision to tie the knot had not been a
hasty one.
But she hid her disappointment, went along with his
plan and steeled herself for the task of explaining to her family that
the nuptials had been deferred.
‘I was acutely embarrassed
and in floods of tears when I told my mum,’ recalls Susan. ‘But she
said: “An engagement is a step forward, so don’t worry.” And Frank had
apologised and reassured me that he loved me.I accepted it was a huge
step for him. He was 61 and a bachelor who lived with his mother. This
was his first marriage and he’d also be taking on the role of father to
my son. So I was prepared to be patient. And, as he pointed out, we
should do things in the right order, holding an engagement party first.’
Most
women, she concedes, would be less forgiving. But Frank, she believed,
was worth waiting for. Perversely, she still saw him as solid and
dependable, and accepted his argument that they needed more time to
organise the wedding.
I noticed him as he walked in,’ she says, ‘He’s
6ft 4in, well-built and very fit and muscular. When he spoke to me I
was struck by his warm and cultured voice‘I was fascinated by him. He’s
an excellent listener, amusing and emotionally supportive,’ says Susan,
who was still smarting from the break-up of her relationship with Luke’s
father, an eye surgeon. ‘The fact he’d been in movies did entice me. I
thought he was a bit of a catch.’
Frank wasted no time in suggesting
they meet again. The relationship flourished and, although initially
disquieted by the age gap, Susan conceded that Frank looked much younger
than his years.
He met her family, then whisked her off for a
romantic weekend in Paris. An impartial observer could not have failed
to believe he was madly in love with her. From the off, there was a
tacit agreement that marriage would follow. Indeed, he bought her a
diamond engagement ring, and talk turned to weddings.
‘It was an
easy conversation - we both mentioned marrying at various times. In the
end we said: “Let’s just do it!” ’ remembers Susan.
She began
organising their wedding. ‘I saw an outfit for Luke. I bought my dress.
Then his sister, Sharon, who’s a member of the Hurlingham Club, helped
us get the room there. I thought, “Wow!” It was the perfect wedding
venue.’
