I feel you. It's not even so much that people are getting married for me, than that marriage is so ridiculously fetishized. Like, when I posted about the boy and I celebrating another anniversary--that took WORK, like major work, and a lot of love and care and faith. For a great, healthy relationship. And it went relatively under the radar. A friend of mine posted the same day that she is getting married, and BAM!! So many well-wishers. Not that there shouldn't be, and not that I'm not personally happy for her happiness, but it's crazy how "we're getting married" generates so much fuss, when the markers of real everyday relationship work (or joy) generates so little attention.
