Apparently I'm next in line and seeing that both my sisters got m*****d before their 25th birthdays - (I don't know where they were rushing to oh!) and I'm still at stage zero (or maybe even stage -1) I'm "behind schedule". But it's all good. I'm definitely not ready for stage 2 but I keep getting asked when I'm at least moving to stage 1. <BR/>And once you take the plunge to the M* world, the next thing is when is the baby coming and after that they will tell you the baby needs an aburo. <BR/>So I say just do you jare 'cos in the end you are the only one that has to live everyday with whatever decisions you make! <BR/>All that said I'm a fan of weddings and wedding websites so abeg keep the invitations coming :)<BR/>Nice one RamzyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-1169099727974282132007-01-18T05:55:00.000+00:002007-01-18T05:55:00.000+00:00lol @ my post..well i guess im in stage zero...mar...lol @ my post..well i guess im in stage zero...marriage was barely on my mind growing up..but i guess now its been thrown in our faces..thank God im still in my early twenties but for someone who grew up faster than her age..age doesnt matter...most of my friends r in their mid/late twenties..<BR/><BR/>im def not pressured yet..just a bit curious who the lucky guy will be..bibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447127703681924293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-1169074624802510312007-01-17T22:57:00.000+00:002007-01-17T22:57:00.000+00:00I couldnt watch the video but I read the stories.....I couldnt watch the video but I read the stories.. damn..has it reached that one?!?!thats some of the corniest shit i've ever seen!!!My dear sometimes I rejoice cos i'm just still 20, but then I just know its coming.. in the next 3-5 years my mom will start asking me who i'm dating.. ewwww.. lol.. and when we gonna get *M*... crap!lol.. this was a fantastic post. lol@naijavixen... you're terribly funny!I guess to every one his own.. but you're right.. the unnecessary pressure has to stop jare... when the time comes.. it comes!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-1169053451932625692007-01-17T17:04:00.000+00:002007-01-17T17:04:00.000+00:00hehehehe :Phehehehe :PAramidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903734169544640142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157593.post-1169052686335253812007-01-17T16:51:00.000+00:002007-01-17T16:51:00.000+00:00Nice post Ramzy hehe!

I think I'm at that stage where I appreciate the 'M' word for a sole major reason: the companionship that comes with it, especially as that companionship comes with this "possessive" streak which many people like and which you don't find in less formalised relationships; that "he or she is officially recognised as mine" (well, that is gradually being eroded...). It's a good thing but only if it is "real" and not just a glossy coverpage.<BR/><BR/>As for how often it comes up in conversations? My mother is about the only person with the bravery to bother me on that issue and she does it everytime I speak with her - which is at least once a week.
