a person's a person no matter how...single

as i sit there at my baby cousin (she's 20)'s wedding shower, i overhear my aunt and two cousins talking: "this is so fun! it's been so long since we've had a wedding!"   "well, we just haven't had anyone that age."

thank you. thank you so much. as if the fact that cousin ariel is getting married at 20 while i'm 30 and hopelessly single doesn't sting enough.

Ugh! How horrible!
Praying for you!

And, just in my opinion, 20 is not "that age," 30 (or older) is a much more reasonable age to get married!

yeah, 20 is too young (no offense busy and mary). and the only reason it's been so long since a wedding is because purple cousin got married when she was a baby, too.
in cousin johan's bff's defense, she seemed to realize it was not the thing to say after it was said, or she at least noticed me glaring in their direction. and in my defense, i did call them on it and tell them it's their fault for never introducing me to anyone.
and, as purple cousin just had her first baby (after 9 years of marriage), can i just say, in defense of all the married w/o children people out there, that his arrival does not make them a family? cuz it doesn't. they've been a family since the day they were married.

very good point :) (points, but i especially like that last one:)

all these pressures or at least perceived pressures we have! people should not have to feel bad when they don't fit into that "box"
