Weddings are okay
my friends are beginning to marry off. There's three weddings coming up this year which I find worrying.

It just all seems so fast
some of them are younger than me, and one couple are still in university

they do sound v young
it's usually about 28 when everyone starts getting married, i think. my room-mate at work is 28 and literally has about 20 weddings this year.

wha'whu'?
I thought you said no more waifs and strays, that the spare room is going back to being a clothes room.

i share my office at work with my colleague - not the flat!

I always think 28-35 is the appropriate time to get married.
Any later and you went wrong somewhere.

marriage isn't for everyone though
i would agree if you get to 35 and you've never had a serious relationship, there's something wrong, whether it's how you feel or something else, like chronic halitosis.

Yeah I suppose I mean more 'no serious relationship' at 35 as opposed to marriage per se.
You get the idea though.

No serious relationship at 35?
They'd fit right in at a bash.

That's silly, you can't assign an arbitrary age range
to get married in and assume whoever doesn't is a failure, or weird, or whatever. I'm only ever going to get married when I am without doubt that I want to spend the rest of my life with someone. Who knows when, or even if, I'll ever meet anyone like that?

Aw don't worry Krones
I'm sure you'll find someone before you turn 35.

Barry's got me scared now
I'm going to have to book passage on the first available Japanese whaler in order to find a suitable mate.

My brother's getting married this year.
The reception's in Romania. I may have mentioned this before, but I'm quie excited about it all. Never been before.
( Kroney, Mon 26 Mar 2012, 12:20, Reply)

I don't doubt that will be amazing.
But does your brother expect a load of people to fly out? I always thought there'd be about twenty people there at weddings abroad.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Mon 26 Mar 2012, 12:21, Reply)

Well, obviously his direct family are
several friends of his and I think both set of our uncles and families are going too. You can get on return flights for about 150 quid if you don't mind going on the romantically named Tarom-Romanian Air Transport airline and the hotels are pretty cheap.

So it's not all that bad, really.
( Kroney, Mon 26 Mar 2012, 12:25, Reply)

Oh yeah course all family and close friends will go etc, depends what you're after really.
I'd prefer a massive wedding with loads and loads of people there, which could never happen if I got married abroad. Different strokes init.

The only fair way to really do it is to host the thing
so it's convenient for the poorer side of the family.
