Weddings

This past weekend one California girl: Meg Paton married her new Husband Rory at a beautiful ceremony in Kits. Alison, Tara and I all found ourselves attending the wedding/reception. These two seem so in love and yet not much older than myself. It got me wondering if I was ready? This was followed by the answer to said question which was a resounding no. Which lead to the second question How young is too young and is it love or perhaps naivety that leads people to marry so young.
Meg and Rory should be the couple afraid to jump into marriage at such a young age, both their parents have suffered divorces. Marriages that ended in infidelity. Despite these less than stellar models of "marital bliss" Meg and Rory decided that it was worth the risk. Granted I don't think I've ever seen a couple so in love in my life but it just doesn't make sense in my mind.
As I watched the glowing newly weds dance their first dance on the hard wood floor of the Scottish Cultural center I couldn't help but be struck by a certain sense of innocence that seemed to occupy the space around them. Nothing in thew orld could be wrong in that moment, for that day after all they now had each other forever. I think I envy that air of innocence. I await my day like that eagerly, waiting for the day I can gaze confidently in the eyes of the man I love and have every bone in my body tell me that nothing could ever go wrong as long as he was by my side.
I love Robert, there is no doubt in my mind but I also have no doubt that I am not ready to pledge my whole life to him. It's funny, four months ago I wanted to it so bad and it couldn't come soon enough, now I don't know. I want to get married I just know that it isn't in the near future for me.
