Re: "You're not really an adult until you get married!"

I kind of... always took it for granted that getting married isn't really about you? I mean, to me, having a wedding is important because it's an official union of families, not just of two people. I guess if everyone's families live close it's not so much of an issue, but for a lot of people a wedding is the only event important enough for everyone to travel to and might be the first time that everyone can meet their in-laws.

So in that sense it's an "adult" thing to do because in general taking steps to build the strength of your family bonds is something adults do consciously more than kids or teens.

To me, getting married has always been one of the few things that's JUST about you and your partner. Maybe there's a cultural component and it's different elsewhere but at least in my region of the US it's not so much about a "union of two families" but a union of two PEOPLE. It's the one day that's all about them and their relationship and if their families don't like the way they choose to do it they can go fuck themselves, or at least that's the opinion of everyone I know.
