Statistic of age at first marriage

As I mentioned before this year I am 25 years old. I didn't realize it last year that I'm gonna be 25 in 2012. But during the new year, I started to think 'oh yeah..I'm gonna be 25 this year'. And not-so-deep inside my heart, I feel oh no I am old now. Its kinda scary to think how the time flies so fast! And and I do not have a proper plan of getting married asap. But looking in the Facebook, there are a lot of my friends that whether already engaged or married. Me neither engaged or married. Sob sob.

she's married! it was so easy for her to get married!

she's getting married

It's kinda weird to think why only now I'm a little panic to get married faster because before this I planned to get married when I am 27-28 years old. I guess it happens because of your surrounding. You being influenced by ppl around you and yeah for me the other reason is that all the times that I have I love reading ppl's blog whom getting married, already married or a make up blog. I've been imagining what I'm gonna look like or how is my make up later. Hehee. But seriously it's fun that you getting inspired. Anyhow, I've been collecting inspiring pictures on how my wedding gonna be later. Haha.

sneak peek. haha. i love this. just need to change the baby cradle to chair and that's it! (picture credit to google)

Btw, since I was panic so I googled to see what is the age of ppl in their first marriage. I found the fact from Wikipedia (its partially true that we are Wikipedia generation ;p). And the origin source is from Department of Statistic Malaysia. Seriously how noob I am that I didn't know that kind of department exists in Malaysia. Anyway back to the fact. In Malaysia, the average age of first marriage for men is 28 years old and for women is 25.7 years old. This statistic is for year 2010. I guess more or less it should not be so much different in 2 years. I couldn't compare with other countries because their statistic are from different years and there are too many variables if I want to compare with them (just say I'm lazy ok :) )

Since for women the average age is 25.7 years old, I think I can feel peace now. Because in order to contribute to that average age, I should get married when I am 26 years old which is next year! Weehooo! A lot of time to prepare. LOL.

I believe you should not care with what ppl think about your age of getting married. What important is what you think. Its your life and you should be the one who decide what is your life gonna be. And as for me, I want to get married asap because marriage is also an ibadah and by getting married, you can avoid unnecessary dosa. After all, we live in this world because of Allah. Therefore, we should do anything that we could to avoid dosa and be loved by Allah.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
