not so scary

It was one thing when people I went to high school with started getting married, I accepted it, but realized that they weren't really in my 'direct' group of friends so I felt fairly far removed. But last weekend 2 people in my 'direct' circle of friends said their vows, and then their 'I dos'. Okay I can handle it, one couple in my friendship circle is married, big deal. But next weekend another set of my friends are getting married. Oh my, part of me is panic stricken- should I be marriage ready? Part of me thinks, what's the rush, we are still so young? But there is this other part of me, an unselfish part that is just happy for her friends and at the end of the day, whether they're married or just dating, this step is not as scary as I had once thought. Congratulations James and Michelle! Congratulations Joe and Megan!
