It Starts

Posted by Braden

Yesterday that thing that I always knew was going to start happening, but couldn't see actually happening, finally happened: I got a Facebook invitation with the title, "Justin and Mollie are getting married!" I probably should have been quieter—a few of my roommates were already asleep—but I started laughing. Hard. Somebody MY age . . . getting MARRIED . . . NOW?! It doesn't make any sense. We're too young. What is she thinking? Is she sure she's ready for such a large change? Once the engagements start, they won't stop coming for a while. Who will be next?

After a few big breaths and a little more laughing, I got a hold of myself. But man, marriage? Already? I suppose it's a little bit more fathomable for girls, but still. I guess I'd better get used to it, though, 'cause no matter what I think or do, it's gonna keep happening.
