  haha this sort of thing is not unusual where i come from. some of the people i went to high schoolwith married right after graduation, others during college, and others still after college graduation. nearly half the people i knew from high school are married now.

  LOL you are too funny!  I do hope your friend has known this guy for a while though... or yes it would be yikes!!!!  have a good time at the wedding... and if you feel that strongly... better stay out of that line that catched the boquet~ hehe

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  brit: Oh my!! That would've driven me nuts! Actually maybe that would've desensitized me.. now that I've never seen this happen at all.. I'm sort of creeped out!

  quietone: Actually they've been together 2 years.. but only in a long distance internet relationship.. he's been studying and working in a different country.. they've only been together in flesh for a few days when he came down here for an engagement party.. and now she's moving to a different country with him.. I tell you its the strangest thing ever!

  How old are your friends? 21? My brother got married at 19 so I guess it doesn't shock me all that much. I always thought I'd get married really young too, but that didn't happen. Which is good because if I'd gotten married back then, I wouldn't have met Nat! Although, if I met her ten years ago, I can still see us getting married fast, despite how old we would have been. Sometimes when it's right, it's right. And if they feel ready, then I wish them luck!

  e_t: I completely get what you're saying.. if its right then its right.. I dunno why it feels so weird! I guess I might be in a bit of a denial about being marriageable age.. hehe.. but you're right.. if it feels right, age's not a factor. Except.. o my god! See how hard I'm trying to be mature about this? I don't know why I keep cringing!!

  some of my classmates got married right out of high school.
  a lot of my classmates got married during college....
  and by the time they were out of college some of them had already been divorced and only one or two weren't married by the time they'd been out of college for a year or two.

  a lot of my generation got married at 18, 19 and 20 and in the early 20's. I was late 28.
  Now people are getting married older.
  
  My son Gummi was 20 when he became a father.
  

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  Fallyn: Wow.. that sounds so different than my experiance! So very different! Amazing!
   
  skald: Hi skald!! A father at 20 huh? He must've been very mature and independant. Maybe thats what its about.. being independant.

     Diabolicdame. if you don't plan on getting married in the near future may I suggest you stay in the house and don't answer the door. I've got a funny feeling some guy's gonna snatch you off of your feet right quick.

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  CMan: Hehehehe.. is that some kind of a compliment? You've got me giggling..  very charming! Well I'm going to take your advice and be very careful opening the door!!     :-D

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  Please delete the bad tags.. thanks a lot!

  Someone as beautiful as you would have guys banging on your door for your hand in marriage !!!! Dont be scared of it.My folks have been married for 38 years and my Mum was 19 and my Dad was 22.I got married when i was 23 - its nothing to be scared of.if you get married in your early 20's - it is easier to enjoy life as acouple and relax.but from what i know of the indian nation,I know that they prefer ot get married in their 30's,not sure why.
  Have a nice time at the wedding,I am sure that you will look lovely
  

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  Hey cj! Yeah it sounds good in theory.. and i love being with my bf.. but marriage! I dunno.. just a wee bit strange for me. Although I wouldn't want to wait till my 30s but not just yet either. You know what I mean? And by the way I'm so glad max is back home with you!    :-)
   
  Oh and thanks for the compliment.. you guys are just sweet!

• thegayfuckup said on Sep 28, 2008....

  There might even be cute guys there.. I might as well be optimistic! 
  
  Indeed, Diabolic Dame!

• travelr712 said on Sep 28, 2008....

  married? she's getting married? M A R R I E D? you've GOT to be kidding! how could this happen to such a sweet young thing in the prime of her life?!?!?!?
   
  go to the wedding, have fun, wish her well, and meet a cute guy, and then it won't seem all that bad... :-)

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  Thats the plan trav.. thats the plan!!    :-)

  It's kinda scary when the first of your friends or acquaintances get married.  It's sort of a wake-up that you're not the "kid" you thought you were.
  
  But I find it odd that you could've gotten this far in life before it happened! :)
  
  Like Fallyn...I knew people who got married right out of high school.  I knew a lot more people who got married during or right after college.  That's pretty much the normal time frame these days I think.  My best friend from childhood got married when I was 15 (she was 19).  For me, that was the "first wedding" in my circle of friends and it felt really strange too.
  
  I had two cousins get married just out of high school, and the rest all married during or right after college.  One of my cousins is married and a mommy and I don't think she's 19 years old yet!
  
  Me personally, I had only been 20 years old for a month when I got married!  Anyway my point is, getting married in college is not actually that young or that unusual.  But the first one of your peers to tie the knot is always a very weird feeling.  It's the sign of moving into the next era of your life, really leaving childhood behind and realizing even if you don't get married, you are going to have "married friends" and their life is going to change a lot which means yours is too.
  

• diabolicdame said on Sep 28, 2008....

  nytquill: Thats exactly what it is. Its a first. Thats why its strange. The kind of people I've grown up with and the way things are around me, none of my cousins are even married yet.. I'm amongst the oldest in the family but even the ones older than me are still unmarried. Everybody's studying and focussed on careers. The last weddings I attended were of aunts and uncles and my parent's friends! It is a wake up call of sorts!
   
  I bet in another 2 years or so.. people will be getting married around me left, right and center! Hopefully I'll be used to it by then. 

• Lucytorial said on Sep 28, 2008....

  Ahhh ..................... errrr................. Diabolicbabalicious?? don't you have a boyfriend?? CUTE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  lol
   
  Hah, you know I felt the same until I was in my mid to late twenties.. actually hold on I got married when I was at 29 yrs old.. I still think I was a kid back then! 29!!!!!!
   
  ENjoy the party, but boy keep those hands and EYES to yourself, for the sake of your BOYFRIEND?? REMEMBER HIM??
   
  ROFLMAO
