Do you? Or do you not?

So here's the thing. I'm all for people being happy, and in love, and getting married.

I am, however, not for people saying to me (after I express my excitement for their forthcoming nuptials), "When is it your chance?"

Chance? Chance at what?

2chance

verb
intransitive verb
1
a : to take place, come about, or turn out by chance : happen chanced to rain that day>b : to have the good or bad luck chanced to meet>
I have taken the above to mean that it is my bad luck that I am not married...seriously?

Anyway, it is at this point in any bloggers blog that they start throwing down statistics, such as "83% of all marriages end in divorce....fact." I, however, will say no such thing. To make matters worse, I am Indian...I should've been married when I was, like, ten. The older you get, the more annoying your aunties get - "I went for so-and-so's wedding last week. So nice. Such a nice fella she found man." Barf.

Hasn't anyone on the planet ever watched Bridget Jones? It's charming and endearing to be a pudgy spinster these days...
