Runaway brides - just a sign of cold feet, or immaturity??

 Read the thought provoking, heart racking article on runaway brides part 1 & 2

Buying a hdb when we start our adulthood and wait a good 3-4 years for its completion is a huge pressure to many young couples - or just brides.

Pressure; Is it really from friends, family and hdb ?

I beg to differ.

Been dating for 6 years. Planned and applied for a small hdb unit 3 years ago and we are about to collect my keys in a month of so. I don't have any cold feet now and i don't even see it coming. I just worry about bills (that we need to single handedly manage without any parents support all the way from rom to wedding to Reno to honeymoon) and i am pretty much excited about my next phase of life as a married woman in my own new house starting my small little family.

To me it's simple.

1)You fall in true love, 2) you find your life partner 3) both discuss and plan future 4) always work things during problems out unless its trust and loyalty issues 5) make important decisions - house, marriage

I just think the words "cold feet" are the lamest excuse for immature brats who rather be single and not tied down.


Don't kill me, it's just my point of view.

I ultimately love peace! :P

Haha!

It's just a cycle!

Invest in your relationship, not on that diamond or that branded dress and 5 star hotel for your wedding.

kids say the darnest things

How To Decide Who to Marry: By Kids
By: Salma Rumman

Kids Contemplate Marriage.

How would you make your marriage work?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
Ricky, age 10

--

How can a stranger tell if two people are married?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
Derrick, age 8

--

What do you think your mom and dad have in common?
Both don’t want any more kids.
Lori, age 8

--

What do most people do on a date?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure?)

--

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
Martin, age 10

--

What would you do on a first date that was turning sour?
I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
Craig, age 9

--

When is it okay to kiss someone?
When they’re rich.
Pam, age 7

--

The law says you have to be eighteen,

so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.
Curt, age 7

--

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
Howard, age 8

--

What is the right age to get married?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
Camille, age 10

--

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

--

Is it better to be single or married?
I don’t know which is better, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’m never going to have sex with my wife. I don’t want to be all grossed out.
Theodore, age 8

--

It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

--

How do you decide whom to marry?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
Alan, age 10

--

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
Kristen, age 10

SO CUTEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
