I always feel weird about seeing people my age get married too, so you're not alone. I keep thinking it's not something that's supposed to happen until long after college.
I agree. I mean, I think it works for them - and they are SO happy and in love and had been together for like 4 years prior - but...still...I know I'm nowhere near ready.
It also feels weird for me when people my age get married, especially because I'm never going to get married (or feel old enough to do so, for that matter), so I think it's always going to feel weird. I still can't think of myself as a "grown-up"-- or, God forbid, "adult", which is a worse word and one that I scarcely dare to think about. It just doesn't click. In my head, I'm still a teenager and will be for years to come. Or at least, in an in-between stage (post-teen, pre-adult) which isn't ending any time soon.
EXACTLY! I'm at that in-between stage. It's so hard to get used to! Like if I'm shopping, and there's a little kid tearing around the clothing racks. I'll patiently wait for him to be done, but the mother will come by and say "Make room for the nice lady" or something like that. I almost want to turn around at first, but then I remind myself, "Oh. Right. I look like a woman to them, not the girl I envision myself.
Although, funnily enough, it doesn't freak me out while I'm teaching and kids ask me if I'm married or have kids, lol. I guess it depends on the context. XD
