I just got, in today’s mail, an invitation to a non-Doper wedding in Atlanta on June 20 of this year. No problems there, except that Jay’s younger, and I have now defaulted into the oldest guy in the gang with no wife/SO.
I hear you, Superdude. I’m a 25 year old woman. In the last three years, every last one of my friends got married.
I’m perpetually single.
At every single one of the weddings, the mothers of the bride, the groom, my old friends, etc. would ask their sons and daughters, “Why doesn’t Laura have a man? She’s pretty!” :rolleyes:
Worse than attending the weddings has been the fact that married/attached people have less time to spend with their single friends. Unfortunately, I still need my friends as much as I ever did. I find it frustrating and disheartening that there are times I need someone, and there’s no one with the time to be there for me.
You’re thinking that he dresses up as a woman and attends the wedding in an elaborate farce a la Tootsie, and then rips the wig off and tells a touching parable about social expectations and pressures?
I know what you mean, Superdude. In the last six or seven months, I’ve attended six weddings… and will be at three more this year. (plus at least one in 2004) I wouldn’t say all of my friends are married, but certainly most of them have SO’s. Me, I haven’t even gotten an offer to go out!
Coldfire is right, it ain’t your clock ticking (but I hesitate to comment on what could be ticking in ya).
I must hang with a less mature group. None of my friends are married (1 is engaged) and I have NEVER been to a wedding (I’m 24 along with about a dozen girls and guys in the same age group).
But I heard weddings are the place to be if you want to meet some nice bride’s maids
lno, better Tootsie than Bugs Bunny in drag, I guess.
badmana, you know, I’ve thought about that. I know a few of their friends. One looks like Jane Krakowski with brown hair and two-tones eyes. She’s hot.
Heh. astro, that quote sounds really horrible until you get to the part where it says what defects the old sperm may cause: Crooked teeth or asymmetrical limbs.
::screaming in horror:: that child needs braces! AND ONE ARM IS SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN THE OTHER ONE! Nooooooooo. Don’t look directly at him!
I’m with ya’. Over this holiday break I realized just how badly I want both a wife and a child (either because of the marriage, because we conceived, or because we adopted). I am in quite a funk over it because I honestly hadn’t cared much about either wives or children up to this point from a personal perspective. Now I feel like I’ve got absolutely no time to get anything going—which is silly, some say, as I’m only 27, but to tell the truth it doesn’t feel silly.
