My cousin is getting married today. I'm really looking forward to both the ceremony and the reception because I get to live vicariously through her wedding because I did not have one.
Oh, I'm definitely married. We had a shotgun wedding - without me being pregnant. We chose to get married when we did because, aside from loving each other of course, we viewed our life circumstances with a healthy dose of reality. Brian and I had been dating for over a year. We were both in our thirties. He and I were driving two hours each way every weekend (and sometimes during the week) to see each other. His living situation included roommates and his lease was about to be end. I had just lost my job, which was the only reason I was even living in the city that I was living in. New base housing had just become available to married families only. I didn't even want a huge princessy wedding dress anyway.
So, we took the opportunity to get married so that we could take advantage (rather than wallow in the disadvantages) of all the life circumstances that we faced. Almost two years later, we're still happily married.
I wonder what circumstances and thoughts these couples faced in the days leading up to their nuptials?
