A few years back I ran with the pack, a part of the majority who’d say “Can you believe it, So & So is getting married??” (So & So is not his real name, changed to protect identity). In the span of three years I’ve been ousted from the incredulous many and now find myself in the ever-dwindling crew of the unattached. Every other week there comes an ebullient online announcement from another acquaintance of mine.

I’m not in any rush to get hitched. I don’t think I’ll be ready for some time yet. It’s just strange to me that all these people have reached their love destinations so early.
