Looking For My Prince Charming


This wasn’t a very interesting article but I got some things from it. First, I hate the idea of arranged marriage because like the author says, I believe that love should come before marriage. I don’t like the idea that your parents have someone picked out for you at the age of three or that they keep setting you up on dates with people that you don’t like. I think you should be able to explore who you want and decide that you like someone. I did love the author’s sense of humor though. A perfect example comes from this passage, “Two days later he sent me a long-winded email explaining that he wasn’t ready for a serious commitment- which is a shame because I’d already mailed the invitations, set up the bridal registry and commissioned the cake.” (pg. 543) I think the most positive thing about this article is that her parents aren’t forcing her to pick the first guy she sees or the one that they picked for her. She still has her rights to say no and I think that’s important.
