WEDDING SEASON!!!

There was a time I used to love wedding seasons. Wedding season meant so many weddings to attend, really pretty clothes, lots of good food and awesome wedding arrangements. I always found weddings fascinating, everything was just so pretty and nice. As a kid I loved going to the weddings, where me , my brother and my sister used to have a motto of eating or atleast tasting every kind of food there was to offer. I don't know if our tiny stomachs could accommodate so much food, but seriously!!! we tried our best.

But, my this charm with wedding is kind of getting over , or i must say its pretty much gone!!!

Well!, if you are curious, I will tell you the reason. As the saying goes, "everything is funny, until the joke is on you", same is the case with weddings. They are fascinating enough until its not your wedding or a wedding of any of your friends or relative. Some people might disagree with this thought of mine, but i guess its my blog..so i write what i like..i basically rule!!


For me, this fancy picture of weddings started to break when one of our classmates in undergrad got married, just after the college. Since, we were too young  (i.e 21), we were not so scared by then. We were already prepared for her early marriage and we always knew she would be the first one to marry amongst us. Suddenly "the free food and good clothes" scenario changed into "what to wear, how to behave and what to gift". Being the close friends of the bride, we were being noticed and hence the awkwardness began. we closely observed the intricacies of a wedding in terms of number of rituals, amount of planning and huge expenses. The picture was not bright anymore.


I guess the earlier times were better, when the social networking sites did not exist and the mere social network was the gossiping sessions of people. So the faint hope of all of your friends being unmarried or single with you , kept u alive and happy. But with the latest facebook, twitter, orkut or whatever social networking site, the gossiping aunts have gone out of work.  Now we know everything going on in a persons life by a mere click of a button.

Anyways, in my context here, I am saying this because I have been noticing lately that a lot of people are getting married. And thanks to facebook, I get know when any tom , dick or harry in my friends list is getting married. Everyday I open facebook, someone or the other is getting engaged, is getting married, or the countdown has begun  or is in a relationship. Freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the age of 25, you don't find this a very fascinating thought. I mean, I still don't think I can get married in next billion years. As a matter of fact, I still don't understand why everybody is so eager to "MARRY". There is so much to life other then just "work" and "MARRIAGE". I might be sounding stupid. yes! i agree. I am pretty freaked out by the though that all my friends are getting married and sooner or later this sword would be hanging over my head.

But these daily status updates, new photos and change of marital status is enough to make one go crazy before their time. Its like they are mentally preparing you for something you don't even wanna think about. Sad but true!!! can't help it. I am happy for my friends who got married or are getting married, for its a beginning of a new life. But, given a choice I would surely wanna filter this word from any kind of status updates I receive from now on! Sometimes, obscurity is bliss!!! I'd rather be blind then see such scary thing!!! huahahahaha!!!
