my dad's side of the family is very fixated on me getting married. ever since my brother tied the knot two years ago, it's become a common topic. where will we find carrie a husband? when my cousin (who is 5 days my senior) got engaged a year and a half ago, everyone wanted to know when my boyfriend and I would (that boyfriend would be the ex).
so, natuarally, while at said cousin's wedding in way north michigan this past weekend, my singularity was a very popular topic of discusion.
"our family friend met her nice boyfriend on match.com, maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea."
"i know you'll marry the ex. always have."
"i know the PERFECT guy....he's your cousins high school friend. he should be here any minute."
"that guy over there is single. his mom still has him by the umbilical cord. and he's 30. but he'd just looooooove you!"
"i bet you'll be married in two years. to someone."
i think everyone forgets that i am 23. noone will kick the bucket before i get married (like my grandparents fear) and i am in no race to have children. my biological clock doesn't even have batteries yet! i know i won't die alone as a weird cat lady....so why does my entire family think o might if i don't (or they don't) do something????
