People's Weddings

It's great that people get married. It provides a structure in which to form and raise a family. The problem lies in my being single.

I find myself so desprately single that I cannot convince a guy to go to a wedding with me. I end up sitting the third pew, everytime.

I know the people with their dates sit behind me. Some think, "she's too young to be a spinster." Spinster. Where did that word come from.

It was probably a code word used around such poor souls as myself who have no one with which to go to weddings to and everyone else conjured a random term by which to catogorize them.

eh.

It's great people get married. It's too bad I just got another wedding invitation.

Men don't go to weddings with dates for one simple reason: they think they're contagious. So my advice is to go alone! Someone's bound to have a brother, friend, uncle, nephew, etc. A friend of mine met her husband at a wedding: he was her waiter. :)

Cute upload.

It's not a code word at all. You know that. Trust me, guys don't go to weddings just for the heck of it. There's gotta be a very good reason for us to accompany you. And that reason alone does not make any single woman a candidate to spinsterhood. I agree... Keep your chin up.
