This weekend, I went to my friends’ wedding. It was probably the wedding I have enjoyed most so far! The bride and the groom were very young and so were their guests, so for once I didn’t have to explain myself as a kid to someone’s parents or grandparents. Also, the music was perfect – the best hits from the 90s, which I’ve grown up with, and only very few 
evergreens like ABBA, Beatles, Elvis, and the such, which usually the older crowd enjoys. There was even plenty of Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Anyways, this youthful wedding was terrific!
And then it occurred to me that the newlyweds weren’t that young at all. Actually, they were at the age at which people normally marry, 25-27. So it wasn’t that they were so young, it’s just me who is getting older and leveling with the age of marriage!
A few years ago, I thought that only old people get married, and now finally it’s people my age that do! It gives me the chills to think that in another 15-20 years, the bride and groom will seem like youngsters to me and I won’t be able to recognize any of their music! Sometimes we need such events that are anchored to a certain period in life to realize how time passes by.
So much for my eye-opening experience. Congratulations and cheers!

You know I never thought about it that way before. But now that you mention it, I realize we’re starting to reach a new whole new group of milestones in our lives. Thus far we’ve been concerned mainly with goals and aspirations that are fiercely individual in nature and depend mostly on our own drive… SAT grades, college acceptances, finding a job. It’s a whole new chapter in the journey, this time dependent on finding someone to take it with you. What a thought! It’s both scary and exciting!
Well written!
