This Horrifies Me

by Michelle on January 5th, 2006

MTV has another casting call up, this time looking for young’uns in love and wanting to tie the knot:

Who says you’re too young to get married? You think you’re ready. This is going to be the biggest day in your life. Are you psyched? Are you overwhelmed? What about all the planning? Have you met your future in-laws? Are you anxious about that? Who’s coming to the wedding? What are you fighting about along the way? What’s bringing you closer together? Are you going to go through with it? Maybe you’ll elope!!!

This just seems wrong to me… Not the show concept itself, I guess, but the way they’re presenting it. Like it’s a fun, great thing and to heck with what the world thinks. See, they’re looking for couples who are between the ages of 18 and 21. Young - at least for marriage.

Not suggesting that getting married at that age doesn’t work - it most certainly can - but I’m totally seeng a bunch of people signing up for the show just to be on TV, not because they really want, or understand, marriage.

I’m left… uncomfortable…
