Wedding Bills

MY COUSIN IS GETTING MARRIED THIS SUMMER. I’m in very high spirits. In point of fact, 2 of my cousins r gettin married this summer, bt I’ve never met 1 of them (even tho I am attending the wedding). But I’m happy all the same. I get to gussy up and revamp and all…
The cousin I know who’s getting married is beyond doubt a really agreeable person, and deserves all the best. But I do have a bone to pick: HOWCOME EVERYONE IS GETTING MARRIED? Isn't it just a waste of money? Yes, I AM TOTALLY MATERIALISTIC, and I would not spend that much money just to have to do the same old routine again, except this time with someone else to add to the baggage. 1 week ago my cousin Ruqy got married (she’s 19), not too long ago 2 cousins of my cousins got married (separete weddings, NOT to each other) and they’re in their late teens/early twenties too. 2 months ago (on Valentine's day)my gorgeous cousin had a beautiful wedding (her brother is the one getting married in the summer). A few months before that another 2 cousins of mine (early twenties) had a double wedding. 2 grooms, 2 brides, and a WHOLE lot of people. Btw, I’m not counting the weddings in which the brides/grooms were over 25. 25 is fine. Younger then that and it needs to be mentioned. Aren’t you enjoying the single life? Marriage is really overrated. I mean, living with the same person FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? Just thinking about it frustrates me. I think I’d get bored too quick. Or maybe I’ll marry the most UNPREDICTABLE person in the world and live in total randomness…and happiness. Or maybe just marry a really rich old dude, so I can truly say that I would be the one he spends the rest of his life with. Hehe. He has to be rich cuz what’s the point of marrying just plain old?
On a more serious note: Congrats, coz, hope you don’t take any word I say seriously, and wish you all the happiness in the world. About time, too. I was looking for a reason to go buy a new gown.
