Year of the Wedding

This past weekend I flew down to Orlando to go to the wedding of my best friend from elementary school. It was a lot of fun, and I got to see people I hadn't seen in a few years. Got to tell the story of my Great Escape from Lebanon and all of my travels again. But I got to realizing that this year a lot of people I know are getting married. The last few years maybe one person per year gets married, so I can write it off as a fluke occurrence. But this year (and by that I mean the next 6 months) five or six people I know well are getting married. Some are my age, some are younger.

A lot of people talk about the pressure they are under from parents and relatives to get married. I don't really feel like that happens, and actually when the subject came up this weekend my mom told me she just wants me to be happy (although if I'm not married at 30, she's going to start bugging me lol) It's more pressure I create for myself, because of course I love drama. I feel like I'm getting older. I graduate with my masters in one month, turn 25 in two months, and real life is bearing down on me. I always thought that the whole biological clock thing was for women. On one hand I enjoy being single and going out and not worrying about all the drama that a relationship entails. But on the other I feel like maybe I need to move on with my life, maybe I'm ready to get on with it. We'll see. But obviously it will be another few years before yours truly gets hitched.
