Reply #14: my brother got married in 1986 at the age of 21 [View All]

I was working my first job in Utah at the time. I took a week off and went back "home" for his wedding. He spent most of the week running around drinking with his friends.
He told me later that he was thinking about asking if he could goto Utah with me instead of getting married. I probably would have tried to talk him out of it.
He is still married, with two kids, but it seems to have been a mixed blessing.
I also felt like he never had a chance to live on his own. He went from being at home to being married. Obviously the latter is alot more work, but alot of the difficulties are also faced by single people, paying bills, cooking your own meals, etc. He never got to compare being an adult on his own to the adult married life.
