knot boom

suddenly there is this flood of people getting married. all around me. what does it feel to have chosen your best bet from the choices offered to you by the marriage market? when you met that person once before your marriage? wouldnt you still be considering your options in the market like after buying a new car? or take another case. you've just emerged from a relationship that didnt work due to unavoidable obstacles - call it caste. and now you are fixed to meet someone, get engaged and seem to be happily married now. which feeling were/are you faking? or the third case, you finished the basic minimum degree you needed to get a respectable job and your possessive girlfriend wants to get married and you can't think of anything you can object to. your life is dead otherwise and you revive it by deciding to tie the knot. or the fourth, no other person will tolerate you and yet worship you this way so it must be love and as neither of you is worth more, do it.
the fifth was a big surprise. a picture of two people smiling and looking really happy - touch wood - in each other's company. they too will soon tie the knot and no, they did not fall in love before the thought crossed them but were fixed to do it, and now feel like they couldnt have asked for more. believable? i've become a skeptic. i haven't seen the beauty of my idea of marriage being realised in any couple. i hope these two do it.
