Thanks John, didn't recognise her.  Andy said in an interview with Petchy that he hadn't visited any jewellers for about 4 years nor had he any plans to do so.  He said that the reports of an engagement were not true and that he wouldn't be thinking of that for a few years yet.

I wonder what stops him. Its not as if he cant afford it.

don't see why everyone wants him to get married   *shrug*  Andy is young.  its his life.  He can do what he want.      end of.

Lack of money hardly has anything to do with Andy + Kim tying the knot. She's not poor either. In Andy autobiography he says his parents divorce makes him aware of how important it is to have a lasting relationship.
Therefore he doest seem to be the type to take relationships lightly, like some rich and famous people do.
They live together, so there's no urgency.

Andy and Kim are fine as they are. They are both still young and have lots to do before they settle down.
I did all my travelling and did not get married until I was 38 and my husband was a couple of years older. I suppose it depends what you want in life.

Suppose but his brother married very quickly and romantically. One of the many things I dislike about Federer is that he only married his girlfriend of ten years  when she was having a baby. I think Andy will be lucky if a lovely girl like Kim is willing to hang about for years without commitment from him. If he loves her he should want to marry her - old fashioned I know but still true.

Everyone is different though-just because Andy hasn't married Kim yet,doesn't mean he doesn't love her or isn't committed to her,and we don't know that he doesn't want to marry her.They're both young,and he lived through what was,by all accounts,not the friendliest divorce when he was a kid.We know that left an impact on him,because he's said so!Doesn't mean he won't marry,just that he might not want to do it as fast as others.
Plus,he might actually just want to wait until they have time to do it and enjoy themselves-he has a very,very full schedule during the year,and he trains during off season too.I seem to remember reading in an interview with Jamie that he actually didn't get to take his wife on a honeymoon,because a few days after the wedding,he was playing tennis in some other country!And the scale Jamie plays on is less that Andy's,so presumably it would be just as difficult for Andy to carve out a block of time,if not more so.

I wonder if Jamie marrying so quickly was something to do with his wife staying in the country?

Frankly if I thought it would get Andy his first slam I'd shove Kim out of the way and marry him myself. 

As far as I can see they love each other, they live together, they have been together for years apart from the brief split, which shows they are in it for the long haul, but they are young and have all the time in the world. The rest is no one else's business.

I don't think it's going to happen soon. Both of them are still young and they seem content of what they have right now. Besides, Andy's too busy chasing his first grand slam. Maybe once he wins his first trophy...

The day he weds Kim will definitely be bittersweet for many AM fans including myself
