is anybody else being surrounded by engagement announcements?? everybody's getting married! an old of friend of mine just got engaged, getting married in oct. a few months ago some friends of mine got engaged, an announcement was posted at work about a former employee's bridal shower, and my good friend john just bought a ring for his girlfriend! ahhhhhhhh!! it's kinda freaking me out.... wow, it's just. crazy.
actually i think it's more a sign of everybody growing up around me and i still feel so young and dependant on my parents and all that... i'm feeling left behind i guess.. in a way. weird i know
I'm a junior in high school, and I still know other high schoolers getting married and getting pregnant. I can't tell you how many engagements have popped up in the last month in the junior and senior classes. My friend's ex girlfriend is getting married next month and one of my old bus friends got married a few months ago (when she was only 17). It's just crazy to me because I can't see myself getting married until at least my 20s, and not having kids until I'm 28 or older. It's also weird thinking of people that I've grown up with making such huge life changes at such a young age.
Only one of my friends has gotten married so far (an she wass last person I expected to get married) But basically all my friends have had kids already or are pregnant... I got together With some friend from highshcool a few months ago and wewere looking through out yearbook talking about what we knew about the pople.. and we counted 46 people had kids... there were only 89 kids in my class... So over half of my graduating class has already had kids... Its crazy...
my cousin's engaged... and I'm the maid of honour So that's a good wedding. One of my coworkers at my old job is engaged, gonna be moving over to her husbands place in a couple months. My dad is engaged, though I have no idea when he's gonna get married, since he's still technically married to my mom (never finalized the divorce)
its just alot of pregnant friends recently, like this year....all of them no older than 16-17, yah...for some of them, its talks of marrage...but i dont know how thats gonna work out...
A lot of people around me are getting married and starting families as well. (whether they planned it or not). I too was frustrated by it at first because I thought that I wanted to be married also. I was actually getting a little upset with my boyfriend because we've been together for 4 years now and he hasn't asked me. I just felt like wtf is wrong with me that he hasn't asked yet. But after thinking about it some and looking around me I realized that everything is going to happen when it is supposed to happen and if I force anything then it won't be "real". Not sure I make sense at this point. Anyway, I was jealous of a lot of my friends who are all planning their weddings and such (not because I want a wedding, but because I felt like my boyfriend didn't love me as much as these other gals men do) But I know love isn't proven by getting married (LOL I was married once and it actually sucked).
it seems as though every friend of mine is either engadged, or they have a bf. I've never even been on a date...so I'm a bit jealous of them.
My cousin was my age when she got married and had her son. Me..I still think of myself as a kid sometimes, I can't see myself getting married until I'm at least 26-27 and DEFINITELY no kids until I'm at least 30. Different strokes for different folks!
