Is anyone else realizing that all of their friends are getting married? I'm 20, and I just got invited to be the bridesmaid at my good friend BrittAshtons wedding. I have five other girlfriends who are married, all 18-21, and two who have KIDS. All of the girls' parent's are OK with it,(excpet for one, her parents disowned her. She was actually living with my family and eloped. it was awkward. They're all loaded, too, from places like Pebble Beach and Menlo-Atherton. As far as education, all but one of them went to school with me at Santa Catalina School (www.santacatalina.org) and are smart girls.
I've never even had a boydriend! WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Someone explain.

uuggg I'm 25 been with my gf five years and probably buying a ring this summer, it's cool if you find someone you get along with. We live together but neither of us want kids for another few years.

Oh and for the thread starter if you have a hard time telling when guys are hitting on you here's a clue, when a guy comes up and starts talking to you.....he IS hitting on you.

EVERYONE! UPDATE! Today after my stupid horrible math class which i will be thrilled to get a C in, I was looking at the internship board. Hot Guy With the Hat came up to me and started talking to me. He's really hot. Then he invited me out this weekend and got my number.
THERE IS HOPE!

Anyway, I also found out more about the wedding I'm going to be in. Turns out Brit has only known this guy for 4 or 5 months. They live in LA together, her parents are in total support, the budget for her wedding is $100,000 and they're getting married in April 08. To be honest with you, I don't think the wedding will happen. 4 or 5 months? out of control.
Also, $100,000. Shit, son.

Whoever said getting rid of your engagement is easier than getting rid of your marriage, well, look at it from an emotinal standpoint, you get engaged to be married someday, so it sounds pretty damn stupid to get engaged at, what, say sixteen years of age like many people at my high school did, then only a handful of those couples went through with it and are now (happily?) married, and everyone else just broke their engagement. If you're not in it for real, don't do stupid shit like get engaged "just because".

I think its absurd to get married when your still in your teens or early 20's, or when its someone you've only been seeing for about a year. People don't really realize rhe magnitude of marriage, the fact that it's a huge life changing commitment, and that it has legally binding implications.

Is it really that hard for people to just enjoy spending time with eachother without adding complications like that?

To me, its strange that that many of your friends are already in that situation. I don't personally know anyone under the age of 24 who even has the idea on thier mind... thier too busy getting thier lives going.

the truth of the matter..

is that if you really love someone and the time is right, why not get married?

Im 22, my girlfriend is 26, we talk about marriage but not doing it just yet, just waiting till we are both graduated and rich haha!

ps. chick that started this thread is hot

I dislike the idea of weddings in general, but expensive weddings take the cake... with that money you could put a down payment on a house, buy a car, save for the future etc..

well I have a girly side because I like some girly things... and I have long hair... but other than that I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a tomboy.
but just to set the record straight, I'm straight.

I dunno eloping or "forgetting" to get married and just living commonlaw seems much more sensible nowadays
