When you were in your mid-twenties did it seem like everyone around you was getting married?

Question

It's like wedding fever!
I'm engaged, my cousin is engaged, one of my best friends is engaged, two people from work are engaged (to different people) and so the list goes on.. All in all it's about 10 couples that I know of...
Is there a time in life when it seems like everyone is planning a wedding? I'm getting to the point where I'm sick of weddings! LOL

Answer 1

I don't think you really notice all the weddings going on until you are planning yours...example (and I know other women will giggle but agree): when you find out you are pregnant, suddenly there are TONS of pregnant gals around...same thing when you buy a new car....suddenly, they are EVERYWHERE...lol



It's doesn't really have anything to do with being in your mid-twenties...it's the same for alot of age groups.

Answer 2

Yes, it's happening to me right now. I'm 26 and I've got two cousins that are 27 that are getting married next year. Not to each other of course. LOL I'm in the female cousin's wedding so it will be super fun. I'll probably get married in another 100 years or so. sigh.

Answer 3

There for a while, it seemed like everyone was getting married but me. I was a bridesmaid in more weddings that I care to count. I believed that marriage was a full time job and I already had a full time careeer that I loved so I put off getting married till I was 39. So all my friends were married long before me which was ok. I waited till I was ready and till I met the right guy for me.

Answer 4

:) I am a wedding planner. Never been married and I am 31.



Right after high school, I swear, all my friends got married and knocked out a couple of kids. My best friend and myself seem to be the only ones that didn't jump on that bus. Not that we didn't have the opportunity, but it just didn't work out that way for us.



So, yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. :) Typically, I see brides between 20-26 more often than any other ages tying the knot.



Good Luck and Happy Planning!

Answer 5

i think of as a wide-unfold rule, that's implied in society that by potential of 25 you will already be self sustaining out of your mom and dad, living on your man or woman, have graduated college and are working finished-time, and have been with your better half long adequate. additionally, maximum females choose toddlers by potential of the age of 30 because of the fact the possibility of fertility is substantially decreased after that, so they discern getting married at 25 nevertheless provides them lots of time. That reported, i'm getting married next month and am 25, despite the fact that it purely got here approximately that way. My fiance and that i are intense college sweethearts and have been jointly for 8 years. additionally, my mom and dad have been 21 and 25 while they have been given married and that they have been jointly for 32 years and satisfied. So I consider you that age has no longer something to do with it, as long as the two companions are mature, totally vested in the relationship, understand one yet another ok, and are waiting to take on the thrill and familiar jobs of marriage. You sound such as you're in the main suitable ideas-set and the main suitable place in existence, so do no longer enable every physique help you realize in any different case! there is likewise a cultural or perhaps geographical distinction. In ny the place I stay, i'm a very youthful bride as maximum do no longer walk down the aisle until their 30's. yet pass to the South, and individuals get hitched proper after intense college. It purely relies upon on what's known in the section the place you reside, to boot as distinctive cultures. stable success, and that i wish you a satisfied marriage (while it happens)! =)

Answer 6

No, but I have 2 cousins on my Dad's side and 22 on my Mom's as she comes from a family of six kids....needless to say for a while everytime I'd turn around......wedding bells lol Now I'm the third oldest and the oldest girl , with a gap of a few years before the rest of the cousins were born.....there's a span of almost 25 years between the oldest and the youngest (counting me & my sister) so after the first three there was a break so all could catch their breath and re-stock their wallets....



Now it's a baby explosion in my family altho it appears the youngest cousin (her second is on the way) is wrapping thing up but....my sister & I,and my 2 oldest cousins have adult kids.....some are married now so it's just a matter of time before we run the stork ragged again lol....big families can be fun......and expensive!

Answer 7

Yup. I know many that are already married and they're 18-20. I'll be 23 and my H2B will be 26 when we get married. It will be in 09. A friend of mine got engaged to some guy she met offline and has only met 3 short times....stupid if you ask me. But she's all about being the "Marine's wife". She's said she's marrying every guy she's dated since we were in highschool, so I don't take her seriously. But it does seem like many are getting engaged or married around me. lol

Answer 8

Well, for me it's a little later, but this year seems to be the wedding year. I have 3 sets of friends planning on being married before 08 is done. But I'm in my early 30's....

Answer 9

Yes, I am engaged (getting married in May). I have three other weddings this year from July to September. Next year two of my friends each have weddings in May. It's crazy!

Answer 10

No, not really, But then again, I was in graduate school and more educated people tend to get married a little older. Most of my classmates were single. Now that I am in my early 30s, I guess I am at the later age of getting married, but it feels right to me.

Answer 11

In my twenties, my friends and I wouldn't have dreamed of getting married. We were too busy having fun, falling in and out of love like teenagers. Now we're all in our thirties and forties, and weddings are in the air! Maybe society in general has decided collectively to settle down and couple up.

Answer 12

Yeah it seems that way.One of my bestfriends got married January 19, 2008. My cousin is getting married march 15, 2008. I'm getting married May 3, 2008. My husband to be, his brother is getting married july 26. One of my close friend is getting married august 8, 2008. and my aunt is getting married december 18, 2008. (my aunt is only 28) and I'm 24 and everybody getting married is under 29. so yeah i guess they are really trying to do it by 30.

Answer 13

People are waiting longer to get married these days, but the mid-20's is prime marrying age. A lot of people want to have their kids before they get to 30. Not me... I'm 33, got married at 29, and if I DO have kids, it won't be until I'm nearly 40.

Answer 14

You are at "that age", and if all of your friends, co-workers and cousins are close in age, then yes, they all tend to want to "settle down" at about the same time.



Weddings are supposed to be about a celebration of love, but a lot of times they can become stressful. Try to relax, focus on what the wedding is really about and enjoy each and every one of them, including your own!

Answer 15

Yes! I just went to three weddings pretty recently. I'm getting married in October. My only sister is getting married the following spring and I'm going to be the maid of honor (I guess that would be matron of honor at that point)....AHH!!!!

Answer 16

really it didn't happen till i hit the bit 3-0

i have 4 wedding showers this month and 2 baby showers

it's crazy!!



but i get my shower in august and that's just the best to come second to the wedding!!!!

Answer 17

YES! wow, that's the exact thing i've noticed. once i got engaged it seemed 5 of my friends followed after! kids now too, everyone i know is getting pregnant!

Answer 18

Yes!! And it seems like everyone gets pregnant at once too, at least to me. It's a baby-palooza right now with my group of friends!

Answer 19

Yes. Sort of. It's the time when your friends are of that age. It will level off the older you get. Then everyone arounf you will be getting divorced. ( LOL)

Answer 20

Me like a lamb to the slaughter, just did it because everyone else did. The biggest mistake of my life. Now very happily Divorced 21 years this year Highly recommended.

Answer 21

everyone just wants to have babies and not get married

Answer 22

No, not amongst my family and friends. Most were professionals who waited til closer to 30.

Answer 23

It did sometimes feel that way. but don't worry. Those couples don't view you in any negative light 'cause you're not married! just wait 'till you find that right person. Trust me.
