"Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry..."

so yesterday i went to the parson's wedding. my friend tassi married her american boyfriend jordan, and i am really happy for both of them.
for the past couple of months i could get to know them better because tassi needed a hand and since i was helping her, we became closer. every now and then we get together in my jacuzzi just for a drink and some laughs, and i have a really good time whenever i'm with them.
jordan's family is also really cool, and that makes me even happier for tassi, knowing that, despite being away from her own, she's found a place she can actually call "home" and people she can call "family" over here.
during the cerimony i felt very emotional (or very pms-tic?) and all the while i was thinking how good they were for each other, and how right that wedding felt.
then for a moment i thought of all the times i thought about getting married, or even just joked about it, and it actually made me feel bad. not really, but it did make me think.
those two (as well as their families) took that so seriously, it was something really important and meant to last a life time. as if divorce was not an option, whereas nowadays, most people just think "well, what the hell. if it doesn't work we can always get divorced." i think that's how i felt too.
watching those two getting married made me think: i guess i never really loved anyone enough to be in that place. weird huh.

When it's meant to happen, it will happen. There's no reason to rush into something so filled with committment without taking the time to know if it's right. I think that is the primary reason we so many divorces in this day and age: People just do not think about what they are getting themselves into until it is too late.
