Why all of the pressure to get married?
[/ QUOTE ] For me there really was no pressure. Are you asking about pressure from your partner or society in general. I never really had any pressure from my wife. It was just something that we talked about. As for the ceremony I was not concerned whether it was big/small/whatever. My wife wanted a church wedding so I figured fine with me.

What made you "give in"?
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't know that I gave in, but I figured I was missing something in life. I had a good job, was making decent coin, and happy for the most part with my life. I really didn't have anyone to share it with. A commited realtionship was the one thing I had wanted. I know you don't "have to be married" to be committed, but I know that is what she wanted so I figured that was something I could do for her.
(psst, don't tell her I said this. she might think I am getting soft)

Tell your friend I said good luck with whatever decision he makes.
