I Hear... Wedding Bells!

Yes, I hear wedding bells.

But not for me.

i know, *phew* right?

i was doing a 360 in my social circle and realized that many of my friends/people i know are beginning to get engaged or married.

Well, I guess if you think about it, I will turn 21 soon. And the US of A is a community where marriage at 19 is not a weird thing. Soon enough, the wedding invitations will start pouring in...

That said, I'm excited for all those people getting married. Hey, if you can find that someone, then by all means, grab 'em before they disappear.

But personally, I'm a bit too young still.

Marriage, in theory, is a life time commitment. Except now, it's hard to tell what it really is. It also depends on whether you get married as christians, muslims, jews, hindus, shintos, etc. But technically, marriage is a life time commitment. Can I really commit that much to one person?

Honestly, yes.

But my family history points to - no.

I'm not saying that because lots of poeple on my mother's side of the family are divorced, it means that i'm going to have the same fate. The aunt and uncle that i live with right now are HS sweethearts. Thus, they don't assume that their kids (my cousins) will break up with their bf/gf right now, cuz they can speak from personal experience that it is very possible.

Marrying my HS bf is most likely not going to happen.

However, think about it - a life time commitment to one person. What does that mean? i don't even know...

If I got married in the next 2 years...

Meh. I don't think i want to even go there.
