Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.
Right now my brother is getting ready to go to his girlfriend's sister's wedding. What I find so amusing about this is that this time last year, my brother was also getting ready to go to the girlfriend's sister's wedding. But that was wedding number one, and this is wedding number two. I don't know this sister, but I believe she is my age (24). My brother said that last year she married a guy who she had been with for five years. After a long month of marriage she filed for divorce, claiming that the guy completely changed once they were officially married. Since then, she has managed to get over that long relationship/short marriage, fall in love with somebody else, get engaged, and plan a wedding. Why the rush to get married again? Especially after the first marriage turned out so well. I really do not understand people.
It seems like a lot people my age are in a hurry to get married. Whenever I log into facebook, I usually see that another one of my "friends" has either gotten engaged, gotten married, found out they're pregnant, or had a baby. Don't get me wrong, I think it's perfectly okay to get married at my age. If you have fallen in love with someone and are ready to spend the rest of your life with them, that's wonderful. But to me, it seems like so many people think that they HAVE to get married as soon as possible. Um people, you are aware of how high the divorce rate is, right? I'm starting to feel like a spinster or an old maid, and I really shouldn't. I'm still young, dammit! I'm definitely not getting married anytime soon, even if by some miracle I was to meet someone tomorrow and immediately fall in love with them. Hmm, I wonder how long it will be before I start logging into facebook and seeing that these facebook friends are getting divorced.
