The annoying relatives |
Year end = School holidays, Christmas and weddings. It is also a time for family gathering and as if it's something really-really between life and death, uncles, aunties, grandfathers and grandmothers will surely ask "So, when are you getting married?!"
Those who are in their middle twenties onward surely experienced the above mentioned scenario. Yes they are being polite, asking how you are doing etc but sometimes it's like being married is the center of the universe. When you answer something like "Still want to enjoy life/want to concentrate on career etc", they will give that face that says " Pity you. You are a failure because you are not yet married at this age."
We live in a society that says your life is only complete when you get married. Some people are so caught up with the excitement and glamour of a wedding, they forgot a marriage is for a lifetime. It is HARD WORK. I have came across a number of married men, some were only recently married, who still fool around with other girls, having affairs. Why you get married in the first place?! A friend of mine said "There are so many things to achieve, so many corners of the world to explore. Why do you want to get married so young?" I couldn't agree more. Another friend said "We awesome people do not rush things." I'll drink to that!
Next time someone ask when are you getting married, smile and politely say "Aunty, this is my bank account number. Bank in some money and i'll get married soon."
Well, anyway, if you want to eat slippers, ask me again when am i getting married.
