Sarah Reeve, a 45-year-old woman, set a condition for marrying her fiancé Lee: he had to pay off his £2,000 debt (£4,000 in today's money) before they could wed. The couple, who have been together for 25 years and have two daughters, share financial responsibilities, with Sarah taking charge of budgeting and savings.
