OK, so I know that I thought I would get through all of these 30 reasons before I turned 30, but looks like that didn’t quite happen. I did indeed turn 30 two weekends ago! (Don’t worry, I’m still accepting birthday wishes if you missed it Ah well, I guess life happened…literally. I will get through these, and may have a couple of guest contributors as well!

So, what does marriage have to do with it?

I’d like to think that the older you get married, the more chance you have of your marriage surviving. A couple who gets married in their thirties have more of a chance – more than double the chance of surviving compared to those who get married in their twenties, according to Match.com. The bride and groom have made an informed decision based off 30+  years of dating all the wrong guys/gals, making all the mistakes they needed to make, and finally finding the one (we hope) that they can spend their lives with based off more than just lust.

I also have more of an idea of what attire to wear since I’ve been to so many.

I should do a collage of all the outfits I’ve worn to weddings over the years. I bet it’s more than #27dresses

So yeah, if you’re not married by the time you turn thirty, take pride in that! You’re making sense!
