I've been attending many weddings and most of them are my former school mates. The last 2 weddings I went to I felt said, because I wish I was the bride marching to the altar.

Some people just dont like to be alone. I am 28, I have a girlfriend, but do not really "wish" on getting married. I see marrage as just a ritualistic bond, its not sacred anymore. There is so much life to live and explore to be worried about that. To think about it and it not be there for you, just means its not yet your time, or you just havent found the right one. One day, you will be there.

Yes! I actually work as a waitress in a reception hall so I'm around weddings all the time. You'd think it would be easy being around them all the time but just before i got the job I broke up with the guy i had dated for 4 years and had talked about marriage with (not officially engaged). It's hard and I feel lonely when at work but friends are really helping me through and every so often the weddings i work give me a little hope that there's someone better out there for me and that one day i'll be as happy as the bride and groom.

I actually broke down and blubbered like an idiot at one friends wedding. It was a girl about 3 years younger than me, i taught her how to flirt, i introduced her to her husband... she did everything i told her to do... and SHE's married, and i'm sittin in the audience. (i was supposed to be a bridesmaid, but i went MIA for a bit... kinda happy i wasnt)
And than the clergyman gets up there and starts talking about 1 being the loneiest number that he'd ever seen. Oh my god! Knife in my heart and twist!! Everyone in the audience had a date... i was the only stag hag. it was just really sad.
But that was a couple years ago. Now i'm gonna be the bride... and all my friends can sit in the audience and go "Bout da*m time!"

There's a saying that goes, "If love is blind, then marriage is the eye opener." Be happy where you're at right now. Enjoy being single. No toilet seats left up, no socks to pick up off the floor, no one to ask permission for anything, no fighting over the remote...the list goes on and on. Remember what some women say, "Every time Mr. Right comes along, my husband scares him away." lol If you want the true perspective on marriage, ask someone that's been married awhile.

I USED to. And then I stopped feeling sorry for myself about my *situation* and did something about it. Start volunteering, keep up with working out, make sure you look as HOT as you can, ;) get involved in your life and the lives of others. Get out there and meet people. Do, try, and learn new things. If someone wants to set you up, give it a shot. You never know!
You know what, I did something about what I wanted, and I actually GOT it. I'll be walking down the aisle in 2 months with my perfect match. You can too.
Good luck!
P.S. Theresa, did you know that 50% of marriages end in divorce because of shallow grown "man-boys" like the poster above you? Marriages are "not sacred" only if people themselves consider them not to be.

Your day will come :) Weddings are only the beginning and it doesn't mean that the marriage will last. Spend the time you have now on pursuing your dreams and the right man will come along.

Don't be in a rush to get to the alter. When the right one comes along you will know it and you will be glad you waited. Do you know that more than 50% of marriages end up in divorce? Marriage is hard work. It does not just take two people in love, it takes two people willing to work at making a commitment and willing to work towards the same goals and work at keeping the sparks alive. Your prince will come.

Once upon a time (about 15 years ago), I was envious of a friend who married his soulmate. They seemed quite happy and perfect for each other. A few years ago, I was shocked to receive email from him that he was now single! I called him up to find out what had happened. Turns out, his "soulmate" had cheated on him, ran up the credit cards leaving him $10,000 in debt, and had lied about both.
Moral to the story: Never envy anyone. You never know what goes on behind closed doors.
P.S. Now I'm engaged to my soulmate, and that friend tells me he envys ME!

This is very normal, but then it changes and you see how some marriages are not always successful. It's worth waiting for the right person, and it will last a lifetime.
