Sandra Bullock Desires An Unconventional Marriage

Actress Sandra Bullock recently confessed that she was afraid of getting married, because she never believed in a conventional marriage.

Bullock, 41, who was previously engaged to actor Tate Donovan, declared she wasn't attracted by the idea of marriage, until she met her present husband, Jesse James.

She says: "In relationships I used to have running shoes on at all times. I'd get so scared of marriage because my idea of it wasn't a very pleasant one. And my mother always said: 'Be original! Don't depend on a man.'

But now I look at love in a different way. I threw away society's version of love and marriage and asked myself: 'Why does it have to be anyone else's version but mine?'

I realised that happiness isn't going to come in exactly the same package as my next-door neighbour has. Someone needs to throw out that relationship rule book and start again", Sandra added.

Bullock married motorcycle builder and Monster Garage host Jesse James on July 16, 2005.
In the past, the actress had dated Troy Aikman, Matthew McConaughey, and Ryan Gosling. She was also engaged to actor Tate Donovan.
