Duncan Campbell & Julie Christie

Julie Christie & Duncan Campbell

Some people are not interested in marriage. For years, Julie Christie was one of those people.

The Oscar-winning actress, who once defended her decision to stay single by saying, “Men don’t want any responsibility and neither do I,” changed her mind two years ago today.

Christie wed her longtime partner Duncan Campbell (a journalist) in a secret ceremony in India. It was, in fact, so secret that no one, including their families, knew about the wedding until two months after the date.

Although today is their second anniversary, they’ve been together for 30 years.

So, let Christie & Campbell’s union remind even the biggest opponents of marriage that if you meet the right person, it’s okay to change your mind.
