I just found out a few days ago that one of my childhood friends who has now migrated and working in the USA is getting married.
He is 24 years old this year.
The first time I heard that they were getting married, I shamefully asked
"Shotgun ah?"
But the fella quite clever.
He knew cynics like me would say that so he purposely announced he was getting married one year ago and is now only getting married.
So either... he managed to find a way to delay the growth of the fetus or... it really truly is a marriage out of love.It's embarrassing how many people (me included) are unbelievably cynical when it comes to couples marrying early.
How we just can't give them the benefit of the doubt for once and not ask
"Why getting married so early? Pregnant ah?"
But if it's any consolation... in my career right now and at my position, I feel a little more comfortable with getting married. It's just a matter of finding the right one now.
Gone are the days when I would panic when my girlfriend said
"Darling... I'm late".
Seriously it wasn't funny.
I had one girlfriend who could be late for 1 and a half months... ONE AND A HALF FRIGGIN MONTHS LATE... ANY GUY WOULD'VE BEEN PISSED SCARED BY THEN.
But now if it happens... I'm a lot less scared, as long as I know I have the right girl.
And hey, I don't see any taboo with that.
In fact if I were ever to have a shotgun wedding I would have a HUGE Grand wedding dinner with all my relatives, friends and of course friends of my proud parents.
Then I would go up and give my bridegroom speech to the hundreds of people out there just like at the National Youth Convention.Before I start saying how much I love the bride I would say
"Ladies and gentlemen.... before I go on with the programme for tonight, let me just say that the rumours ARE TRUE.
My beautiful bride tonight... is carrying my child. It wasn't intentional. She told me that she was on the pill... but she was apparently joking".
Seriously, that's the best thing to do... SQUASH all the rumours.

xiangmei, why is it shameful to be pregnant before marriage?
Wah boss! If the condom's too small for you maybe you can consider asking that friend of yours in the States to buy one for you. But then it'll probably come back too big. *shrugs*
may zhee: That is my opinion mah...to you guys,maybe it's different from mine lor
xiangmei: haha.. i'm actually not the kind of person that goes along with tradition one... quite the opposite really... heck if i ever shotgun.. i really will jsut go out and say it.. why hide the truth
vss3t: yah!!! hear hear!
stella: yah exactly!!!

well.. this is really getting into a "trend".. we always do hav the mis-thinking of couples marry early.. definitely pregnant.. 8 outta 10 of my seniors married early 'cos of the "accident-baby".. then after 2-3 years they divorced.. Sighhhhh...

Timothy: Obviously,people will backstab right? So,Prevent is better!Sometimes,i think its better to keep our mouth shut since everybody already know the truth.If you just say out,maybe your parents will feel a bit shameful.*that my opinion
michelle: well that's why it's becoming a trend for us to wrongly assume.. 8 out of 10 of them are shotgun marriages

Well Bro..it's so simple and cheap to get married in the US. No Tea Ceremony, no HIV test etc etc.
Think was $55 for marriage license and about $100-$300 to solemnise in Las Vegas itself... more info at their County site
, even the marriage permit is made known online..haaa haaaa
Best is..they are open 24/7 ....like 7-11 (and alot of 7-11 about)
or they go to Atlantic City....which is dearer.
So.. Viva Las Vegas..no need to go to Thailand etc etc as it is 100% LEGIT!
Hehehe since i am now so free, i shall see to it that i find you a date bwahahahaha....
Hi Bossy! If u get married early by the time u r 55 ur kids will be working! That is the only advantage! The cons is u can't poke around! He! He! U can always say 'it is a POKEING ACCIDENT!!! See now I get married at 'discounted' price!!!'
But I think u r a good poker so for sure not pokeing accident!
Have a nice day!
Ang Moh...Ah Meng dah mati ah....
no more use of Ah-Meng ok...
i totally with just mentioning it during the bridegroom's speech. i mean wth, sooner or later people will know anyways. maybe even before that. bridegrooms should just be the man and stop all talking behind your backs.
i dont see a point in trying to keep silent. like how my cousin had a shotgun marriage. i was the only one in the family to guessed it right and those people at home didnt even bother to tell me at all even after the wedding until i ASKED. can you believe it?! imagine suddenly going home months later and be told that i am now an aunt?!
p.s. yes boss, you do need to get a gf. get someone to share those huge ass greenteaicecreams with!!!
"Darling... I'm late."
Takutnyer.. if the guy willing to be a man and marry you takpe. This one buatnya the fella said okay let's go clinic, tak ke haru?
Prevention is better than the A word?
OMG... the scariest 3 words in the world. "Darling, I'm late..."
On a sidenote, the nicest 3 words anyone can say are "I Love You"
the most unpleasant 4 words are "I Love You but..."
boss....is this post telling your spesel "someone" u are ready ar??? HAHHAHAHA
..boss sometimes is not the guy..but girl. if im preggy ill be the one that begs for letting it go..
