Yesterday, my younger bro got married.. or to be more precised, he registered his marriage at the Embassy in Tokyo.. He met his wife last year around Nov I think… and now he is married..too fast for my liking, but well, I am not the one being tied down with matrimony..

The impression that he is marrying for the sake of marrying will never leave me.. He is just 31 years old this year and yet he can’t wait to get married.. Marriage, to him, seemed like one of the “must-do” item on his list… and already, he is planning for his kids.. Taurus.. oh Taurus..

I have seen a lot of people around marrying not because they are ready and/or they have found someone whom they wanted to spend their life with, but due to some frivolous reasons. Most common reasons for getting married that I’ve heard are:

• All my friends are married, so I need to get married too..
• My parents want me to get marry…
• If I don’t marry this guy/gal, I might not find another person willing to take me..
• I am not getting any younger or my biological clock is ticking..
• Oops.. the baby is coming in xx months, we have to get marry..

Maybe these are just excuses given and were not the real reasons.. but whatever the reasons/excuses might be, they have to bear the consequences.. Divorce rate is at an all time high, regardless of which country you are in.. so why take the plunge unless you are sure? or maybe one needs a moment of rashness to take the plunge? What do I know, right? Since I have never been in love before.. 

Maybe I am just too rational.. maybe one needs to be more emotional to be in any relationships.. maybe..

Anyway, just wanna wish a happy and long marriage to my little bro..
