Today I was watching "The Wendy Williams Show" otherwise known as the only thing that can wake me up enough at 8am so I don't wobble and fall onto the Metro tracks on the way to work. One of the things she talked about was her own marriage and the things she believes every woman should experience before she gets married. And the more I thought about it, the more I found that I agreed with her. I think many people get married too early. As it happens I am going to a friend's wedding on Saturday. The bride is 24 and she is the only girlfriend the groom has ever had. I love them both dearly and am thrilled for them, but on some level I don't really understand it. My heart says it's the cutest thing I've ever heard but my head says "Ahh you're crazy!!!". So with further research, here is the list.
1. Live by herself for at least a year.
2. Live with someone else for at least a year.
3. Recover from a broken heart.
4. Have a vacation fling.
5. Take a road-trip with a group of girlfriends.
6. Relish sleeping in a queen-sized bed by herself.
7. Get her finances in order.
8. Learn to love her body.
9. Have a night with at least one person she’d never want to marry (or introduce to mom).
10. Find reliable birth control.
11. Pay off as much credit card debt and student loans as possible.
12. Spend way too much on a something frivolous.
13. Exorcise all past relationship demons.
14. Travel somewhere exotic.
15. Establish a strong circle of friends.
16. Forgive her parents for not being perfect.
17. Have at least one night crazy with her friends.
18. Experience some really bad first dates.
19. Find hobbies that fulfill her.
20. Celebrate her 25th birthday.
