When I logged on yesterday, within a minute of each other two girlfriends messaged me and each told me their colleagues having marriage news. Later in the evening, I learned about two other couples, half of whom I personally know will be getting married this year.

My first two cousins to marry boys from the same family, by the time they were 28 or 29. None of the older cousins (there are five of us) will be getting married before 28….

Maybe the Year of the Dog is an especially auspicious year to be married. Gosh, it’s another 12 years if not this year…. =P
