Marriage.

| 0 notesSo lately, a lot of people have be tying the knot.
Sure most of them are of the society's standard of the "appropriate age" to get married while some are still young. But does it really matter? At what age you tie the knot? Because eventually, most people still end up doing it years later (many many years later for some) anyway.
Of course there are differences, (well the main ones at least are) being more stable financially and mentally. Yes those two things are very important and play a huge part in deciding whether it is the right time to settle down, but what it really comes down to is to the two people who are going through the ritual to spend the rest of their lives together.
To me, two people should only get married because they want to, and not because they have to due to any circumstances.

Many girls dream about their fairytale wedding, and have in mind what they want since young. I used to be one of those girls but lately, I guess it's age and practicality but I wouldn't want to spend a lot on a wedding. I would much rather set that money aside for the future that is to come for me and my future husband.
Yes people see marriage as a "once in a lifetime" affair, but I honestly don't see the need of having something so extravagant and then landing yourselves into a huge pile of debt just for this ONE occasion. I'm more of a practical person I think, and to me having a decent proposal, a sparkly bling on my ring finger & a good wedding photoshoot is enough for me. Because those are the things that I can look back on, so those are the things that I'm willing to invest a bigger sum of money into. I would much rather have a simple ceremony & just sign my life away to the other person (just kidding, but it sure seems that way doesn't it?). Besides I want to have two children and for them to have the best, I would much rather leave out the extravagant wedding and put that money to good use on my future kids.
Honestly, I'd be much happier to skip through all the hassle of the tedious planning and just invite family & a few friends to see me sign the papers and take some pictures together. I don't want a falling out with my future husband over wedding plans, it's just not worth it.
( Especially after reading this article: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/relationship-advice/wedding-things-that-make-no-sense?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1440_53551236 and of course hearing stories from friends. )
So yeah, those are the thought that have been clouding my mind when I look at wedding invitations & ceremonies.
P.S. These are my own honest opinion, well everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.
Marriage.
