Think about the fact that the culture for a good portion of that population has people marrying people for political and sociological ends, rather than because they've found someone particularly special...

or for economic gains, don't forget that

Well that was mainly what I meant by sociological, but yes. The point is many people are in situations where they are not looking.

My mom married my dad thinking that they are in love but then after a year in love they hated each other

I don't know; it's really hard to know what will last, and in many cases the ones which start for political or whatever reasons, last without difficulties... Of course there are many challenges with that as well. But people who are "in love", marry quickly without testing themselves in any way. Then the first fight splits em up. I don't know. I don't know if I want to get married. Not that it matters anyway right now, since I have not even a single prospect for a date let alone marriage.

My mom Marries men that have been with her for about a year, it's a short amount of time to jump into that sort of commitment

Yeah, and yet after only one or two years people start chatting about marriage and it's like, shut up already.

I mean that people start trying to get couples to get married, their families and friends, within a couple of years. Not necessarily that plans occur it's just pressure.

My mom did that everyone kept telling her to shut up, even her fiance told her to shut up about the wedding, she became a REAL bridezilla. Everything has to be her way or no way.

The wedding was taken place on the fields of the resort; the wedding before her had the exact color scheme: white, lilac, and brown they were real flowers and it was beautiful. No, my mom wanted them down because the white didn't match her dress.

The wedding sucked balls. No one carded anyone so my 18 year old step-sister got drunk off of at LEAST 6 rum& coke (heavy on the rum). Screwed up the catering, I didn't eat the wedding cake but everyone did and they said that it was the most disgusting cake ever. Better off making one that tastes 100 times better.

The wedding turned from $1,000 to $10,000 budget B|

Many women today feel like somehow they aren't women if they don't do the big wedding thing. It's sad...

My sister eloped. People suspected ti would happen, his family is in Alabama; hers is in Michigan; they married in Chicago, and did a little photo shoot in the city. My mom held a party at a local restaurant. But that all seems better to me than a big wedding. It makes me sick.

I would have a hard time with my reception because I'm so different from my family because I'm the club dancing type of girl and everyone in my family rather sit and talk for hours. I hate country and everyone loves country.

I can't see myself going to a club, unless it was more of a punk type atmosphere (not fakey though) and I don't like country, either. Haha. But I don't hate my family... I still live with my parents, heh.
