Some say that people only get married when they have no other option, out of panic or desperation or so as not to lose someone they couldn't bear to lose. It's always the most conventional things that contain the largest measure of madness. However, I'm not sure this is true. There are many who get married for reasons that are unconventional and pure love. They may get married because the people they love do or because it's what they feel they should do or because it's what they're supposed to do based on traditional expectations of society.
