Diary of a Gen Z Student: A wedding is a real commitment for some — here's why

Jane Cowan, who recently attended her brother's wedding, learned the stress of certain preparations was not something experienced by all attendees.

Last week, I attended a wedding for the second time in my life. The first was my aunt’s when I was about 14; last week’s was my brother’s. And let me tell you something for nothing, a wedding is a real commitment.

And I’m not even talking in the sense that you’re fastening your canoe to someone else’s for life, praying for peace, love and happiness along the way. While that certainly does seem like a decent commitment — at 22 years old, I feel a little unqualified to speak on all that ‘till death do us part’ stuff.
