Getting Hitched

Getting hitch is a happy and yet daunting task. Fortunately (or unfortunately), many of my friends (some close and some not so close) have decided to take the plunge and get married this year as well.

From the various conversations that we had (online and offline), I can safely categorized them into 2 categories; one that is planning (worried) about their future and the other group is plain worried about the day itself.

Category 1 - generally people who are planning about the day itself as well as how are they going to live after the day is over. Questions like "Where am I going to stay?", "Am I going to have as much freedom as now?", "Would it still be the same?", just to ask a few, keeps popping up in their heads. However, no 100% answers can be provided unless one actually embarks and experience this journey him(her)self and answers will (hopefully) be available by then.

Category 2 - needless to say, people in this category who only be worried about the day itself and not plan about the future like in Category 1. All they worry about is, which bridal shop? which wine? which photographer? which this which that? AND when asked a simple question like where are they going to stay? Cock answers like "oh, my parents bought me this and that, my parents forbid me from moving out, no money la, why should I move out, this house will be mine eventually!" are provided.

My question here is "why start a family when you are still (very) attached to your parents, like a foetus attached to its mother via the umbilical cord"

And to the rest of you, which category are you in? Marriage is for a lifetime, its not as simple as signing on a piece of paper, hold a wedding and thats it.
