Have you all been keeping up with the Kardashian’s lately? There was so much hoopla over Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ recent nuptials on August 20, 2011. I truly didn’t understand what all of the fuss was all about. I watch the show from time to time, but I didn’t see any real chemistry between the Kim and Kris throughout the season and during the 4 hour wedding special. So, when I heard the news that Kim had filed for divorce, I wasn’t surprised at all. I don’t know why other people were surprised that this happened. Now did I think that it would only last 72 days? Of course not. I don’t think anybody could have predicted this short timeline.
I was talking about Kim’s divorce with one of my friends yesterday and we both talked about the growing trend in our country – that we are in a society that is wedding obsessed. I’m not sure when it happened but our society has become so obsessed with weddings rather than being focused on the actual marriages. Society puts so much pressure on women to get married and have babies by age 30 that women feel like their doing something wrong when these things don’t happen at the magic number. Like many other women, poor Kim has fallen into this trap. Is there anything that we can learn from the Kardashian wedding? Sure – don’t rush into marriage. Really get to know your partner first and the marriage/wedding will follow when the time is right. I also think that her family and friends should have cautioned her a little and told her to slow down – if he’s the right man for you, he’s not going anywhere. I’m really hopeful that in the future women will follow their hearts and focus on building a solid foundation with “Mr. Right” than focus on a ring, the dress and the wedding planning with “Mr. Right Now.” What do you all think about this story?
Anyways, I checked out some of Anthro’s new arrivals on the website and I’m loving a ton of stuff. Have you checked it out yet? Well, here are my top 3 items for the month of November that I can’t live without. What items have you added to your wish list?
