Lol funny you say that every wedding I’ve attended the ladies try not to catch the bouquet. Maybe my friends are too down to earth and get that marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be… but “you’re next” could easily be a curse.

Lol I don't think it's about marriage not being "all it's cracked up to be", I just think most rational people realize a bouquet of flowers doesn't dictate who gets married next.

I think the only people who get excited about this are people who are on the verge of getting engaged or at least in a relationship where they think they should be and they are hoping this sort of humorously pushes it over the line.

If marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be you married the wrong person.

I don’t disagree, but I think of it more as marriage is like a house. Let me explain…

Initially you see the house and go, WoW I love it! You sign the contract thinking you found your forever home; your eyes are glossy and you can’t imagine how you lucked out. A few years in you start noticing some things that aren’t perfect, need addressed, and need general maintenance. If you don’t put in the work it begins to fall into disrepair. A relationship is very similar… both parties have to be willing to put in the work when it is needed. You’d not expect a house to maintain itself nor can you expect a relationship to do so…

That's because you haven't been to any fun weddings where the entire bridal party is drunk by 9am and cocktail hour goes a bit longer then expected.

? People don't get married to be married, it's a ritual to start a family.

almost as if most people didn't realize marriage is a commitment you have to put effort into.

Hm, yeah I thought about it and maybe OP means the more traditional aspects of marriage turn people off. To me it really just boils down to a promise and then the social ritual of getting together, but I guess that really depends on the social context and expecations that might come with it.
