It's kind of weird that my best friend and her fiance will be getting married in less than a year, own a house together, and have a puppy. But my boyfriend and I have known eachother for years longer, dated for a month longer, and are still two years or so from any kind of serious marriage plans.
The world is a funny place.
Speaking of which, I read on Yahoo! today that Americans are no longer taking marriage seriously. As in, it's viewed as unnecessary. That kind of amazes me, but in a "it was bound to happen, just not so soon" way. I still plan to get married, mainly because the whole "white wedding" scenario really appeals to me on some level, but I suppose I can see not wanting to deal with all of that. It's cheaper not to get married in a lot of cases, and when you can just live together and have civil union or whatever, then why not? I still feel like it's a nice thing and a necessity-- as I probably won't live with my boyfriend or anything like that until we get married, but to each his own.
Peace.
