even though i'm a horse wife,
i'm not actually married.
(a horse wife doesn't need to be.)
but i find myself at the age when people my age start getting married.
and whatdoyaknow, it usually looks something like this:
we've all seen the facebook photos.
and what a let down.
despite the fact that most young people do not attend church, it is not uncommon to be married in a church.
and if not a church, out of doors, under a gigantic white tent. white, probably because it matches the bride's dress: which is always WHITE.
and generally strapless.
after the ceremony, the happy couple join their friends at some kind of hall. with many long tables and a floor for dancin. they have their "dance," cut the cake, and get freaky.
we live in an age of CHOICE:
we can get married, or not get married.
we can get pregnant, or have abortions.
and, i suppose, we can have a traditional wedding or, i dunno, do something
"different."
indeed: we can choose to be lame and end up like our parents.
