Title: Congratulations!
Post by: Natasha on Jul 05 12 02:25
A friend just got married and has lots of people saying "Congratulations" and it just got me to wondering, what's to congratulate him about? So he got married, so what. Anyone who's married for longer than a few months knows how difficult marriage can be. Those people know the reality of marriage, not the fantasy..... so what's to congratulate?

Lol, true, true. Instead of "Congratulations" they should all be saying, "Lookout!"

"Congratulations on having the optimism your marriage will work even though the odds are against you"

Yes we do but congratulations implies you've already accomplished something. Getting married isn't an accomplishment, it's more like another chapter in ones life.
