I've noticed something, something rather disturbing. Girls at BYU are far too obsessed with weddings. Not just their own weddings, but other people's.. including complete strangers. Why is this? Why does our strange society place such an importance on nuptials? I think every girl starts planning their wedding at age 5 and they never really stop. Take for instance my mother, she got a Pinterest for the sole purpose of planning her children's (and friend's children's) weddings. Why? I mean honestly every girl I know has every aspect of their "special day" planned out; from their dream ring (which usually costs as much as the standard suburban home) to the more realistic (and slightly disappointing) options, all the way down to their preferred wedding season and means of proposal. Don't get me wrong, it's good to be prepared.. but have we taken it too far? Has BYU brainwashed us into thinking we are not normal until we have found our eternal companion? Am I already a menace to society because I turn 19 tomorrow and have yet to have found my mate of choice? WHO STARTED THIS NONSENSE? In the real world we wouldn't even be thinking about marriage for the next five years but now we're forced to run around like some type of psychopath going on dates and scaring off potential suitors who are terrified of committing to all these girls who just want that ring on their finger regardless of who it's from.
Too harsh? perhaps.. but someone had to say it.
