I'm gonna try this one out.

Matt, you're so right about dating one person after another until they finally get married. It makes it like some kind of game show..or trying different shampoos and finally getting fed up and sticking with the one you have.

I have nothing wrong with people getting married young or old. Like it's been mentioned by several people- it's the reasons for getting married that really matter. Sure, I think it's cool to be able to legally drink at your own wedding but some are ready before that and if they're ready..go for it.

It's defininetly not only older people asking others the "when are you getting married?" comment that hurts. I am constantly asked that question by peers and it drives me crazy. Like..gee..maybe when you get the invitation in the mail you'll know?

It's fine if another couple feels that they're ready for marriage even if they are young.. and the only reason I ever don't like that is because I'm worried about my friends, because I don't want them to get screwed up and hurt later because of a bad decision. But that applies to all sorts of things in life. Doesn't mean they should look down on me or anyone else for not being ready to get married.
