This article discussed some ByU students prefer got merry in the middle of the semester for some reason, like like to do all the jon in one time, and get a lot of help from parents and professor. In my country, people proper to get merry in the vacations. That many people would have time to join your wedding. So my parents would oppose this plan. For my personal opinion, I also disagree to hold wedding during the semester. I do not have enough time to get everything well.

Getting married in the middle of the semester is a crazy and romantic idea,but I don't agree with it, I think my parents' opinion is same as me. You are so young that you have enough time in your life. Why not waiting to the next vacation? Why you have to be so hurry? Maybe the only reason is youth.
ReplyDeleteIf I got married in the middle of the semester of the college, my parents would gone crazy! It is hard for Taiwanese elders to support this kind of decision. Most of them hope their child can finish their college first, and then start to work. By the time the child of them save enough money, it will be the correct timing to get married. Therefore, most of Taiwanese get married at their late twenties.

I think is important to have priorities in life for that reason is not recommendable take decision only thinking in your feelings. I think you have the enough time to take your decisions and choose when is the best time to get married. I think your parents have to oppose to this plan because it is a crazy idea. You have other times during this year and is better to get marriage if you don’t have another thing to think in your head. For example if you have to think in your classes and also in you wedding you are not going to do anything totally good. Is better if your finish you classes first and during your vacations you get married. You are not going to be stressful and both things that you want to do are going to be all right
ReplyDeleteIt said about getting married during at the middle of semester. Marriage can be changed their lifestyle. If I have been there, I don’t want to get marry in the middle of semester, and my parents oppose this plan. They suggest that they can support us after the semester. Actually, I want to get marry after semester, too.
ReplyDeleteThis article talks about some students can't wait to get married, so they get married while they are taking classes and work. Luckily, students who are going to get married they have a lot of resources, such as family, friends, church leaders, or professors. Randy Lin
ReplyDeleteI never really talked to my parents about marriage. Specially because I think it's crazy getting married so soon, I think you should enjoy life a little bit more before such a huge commitment. But, different from me, my parents wants me to get married, and I think they wouldn't mind if was in the middle of the semester or not.
ReplyDeleteI think that in Utah exist exaggerated social pressures about married. Sometimes many students prefer to wait ending their studies before to be engaged, but social habits in Utah teach other things. Actually, I believe in God and the commandments, but I feel that decisions are very important and own. So, is a right choice if someone wants to wait until to end their studies. My parents would never support this idea.
ReplyDeleteWell … once I asked to my parents what would they think if I got married before I finish my studies, their answer was “ We will accept your choice if you think is the right to do and if you believe you will be happy with that” When they first told me that I thought wow! My parents are the best. But then I realize they told me that because I was 14 years old. Now I’m 19 years old, and the answer is totally different because I already started my student life. Definitely now they will say no. They want me to have at least 2 years of studies, some saving and a good job. For me I think is basic to make them happy with that if I want their approval. With that done, they will be glad and so they do not worry about my. In conclusion, if I told them I want to get marry now they will say A BIG NO!

Getting married during classes is a quite risky decision to make. Not many people have this capacity to manage difficult and stressful situations like this. My parents would oppose to this plan because they are too concerned about my grades at school. They would rather plan everything for me so I could get married in the semester break.
ReplyDeleteI think my parents would not accept, if I want to get married in the middle of the semester. Since we will be still students, my parents would not accept easily. However, talking with whole family members is the most important thing. From them, I will be able to get very precious advice.
ReplyDeleteActually, I got married when going to high school, and my parents did not supported the idea of getting married during classes, so we waited for the summer brake. I think getting married is a big life change and it deserve time and planning.
ReplyDeleteI think many BYU students get marry in the middle of the semester. It is because of mormon custom that encourage marriage early. In my country, the people who get marry when they are students are rare. My mother wants I get marry early, but I don't like it. In my opinion, managing both housework and classes at the same time is not easy.

If I want to get marry in the middle of the semester, my parents would not permit it because they think the wedding doesn't need to hurry. Also,they would not support it because my parents think student marrige is too early. And I agree with that. After graduate wedding is better because the couples would more mature.
