Monsoon/Winter wedding blues

It's a marriage season. Everyone (enjoying prime of their youth life) seems to be getting married and settling down. Just rounded up two marriages (of someone who i bother to attend) and skipped some. Probably it's the age thing that is hitting my generation now. Slowly my friends have started tying the knot and it's building pressure for all of us who are still afraid of that ever-lasting promise (probably too strong statement here). Two of my close friends are readying up this fall, more will line up soon.

Once there was a time when job-hunting was in fashion. The working ones were putting pressure on others who were enjoying warm winter sun and watching hilarious episode of FRIENDS on any weekdays. That time-frame ended with all of us doing one thing or other. Some escaped to abroad with excuse of education, some remained behind rushing through 9-10. Without a clue, bang: here is the marriage season now. Probably two years down, being parent would be new fashion and those late-bloomers who are just married will feel the heat of becoming 'new dad or mom' thing.

The big question for me would be: how do i cope with this seasonal flu? Idea of tying knot is not bad actually, but just wonder about the timing and other social barriers!
