It was a great shock to me when my friend Andres (of all people!) got married at 29. That a dedicated "ladies man" would take a step like that and at such "tender" age, left me feeling confused and even a little frightened. It led me though to recover part of my faith in men, couples and marriage (of course, when he divorced six months later, my faith levels went back to normal in a heartbeat).
I did not get the "marriage bug" until I was 26 and very much in love. In fact, even today, I have no clue about weddings; I believe I have never even glanced at a brides' magazine. If it wasn't for the darn biological clock, I would not even know how to spell the word! It has not been like that for some of my girlfriends. For many of them, marriage has been an illusion since very early in their lives.
