This is something that has been on my mind a lot of late. Does anyone see the point in getting married? Would you get married? I for one do not understand why some of my mates have either tied the knot or are about to. It's not something I've challenged them on, but I do wonder why they feel they have to. I've also seen a couple of ex-school colleagues on Facebook of late who have breached the same threshold, and I see them looking all proud next to their newly wed.

Call me cynical but sometimes when I see all the pics plastered up there I just can't help thinking they are all just trying to fit in, and are attempting to demonstrate to the doubters that they have 'made it'. Is this a genuine show of true love not just an orgy of self-indulgence, or are they even just trying to keep the girl happy? Maybe I should ask...
