One of my good friends from high school got married last weekend. She and her husband just bought their first house, and my mom sent me the wedding announcement from our hometown paper (thanks for the nudge).
It seems that my twenty-something friends are dropping faster than Paris Hilton drops her AmEx card. Whatever happened to the Sex and the City years? (Yes, I know it's fiction, but it was a huge commercial success). Even The NY Times sides with me on this one, but nonetheless many of my friends are heeding the sirens’ call of wedding bells and babies.
I was starting to feel really, really old. But then I saw their wedding photos on facebook and decided that we are still very young and hip (at least according to our profiles).

I completely agree. My friends are having kids, buying houses and getting married. When did it stop being hip living in the city and having a cool apartment alone?
Amen! I'm glad it's not just a girl thing. I can't picture my high school friends as nurses, parents, lawyers, and parents. As far as I'm concerned they're still seventeen.
It really isn't so bad!!! I got married way before all my highschool friends (I'm 29 and have been married for 6 1/2 years and we'be been together for 12). I just think how young I'm going to be when my kids are old enough to move out (one is almost 5 yrs and the other is 8 mths).
Oh, I'm not against marriage, in fact I hope to have a husband and family someday, too. But sometimes it seems like a game of musical chairs where one minute you're walking to the music and the next you're the last one left wondering "what happened to everyone else?"
