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.
