Whew... This is it. My Guy asked me to marry him, but, well, part of me wants to get married, but part of me is a big AFRAID... My friends says, im already 29 and i have to go on life seriously, and no more, semi-run away bride (coz every time a BF propose a marriage, i broke up with em')...
He's a nice guy though..
But... What should i do... Im nervous and afraid for the life thats waiting for me when i get married.

This is really one of the biggest and toughest decisions you have to make in life. It's a common thing to feel afraid and I guess that's what they call marriage jitters, if I'm not mistaken. Even if others would say that you're already 29 and therefore, getting old enough to start a married life; don't let them rush you into doing something you're not absolutely sure you want to undertake. Learn from other's mistakes but I'm not encouraging you to turn down his proposal. Reach into your heart. Are you prepared to go through life with this man - through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer? Come to think of it, this line feels like a cliche already and a lot of us have memorized it by now. Some would even laugh at it. But what the priest or pastor or whatever you call these officiating people are - they are really preparing you for the rest of the coming years both of you are spending with each other. It's not just words that you hear in the ceremony.
Everyone wants happy times so don't fill your mind with rosy life and daydreaming about marriage. Think of instances, particularly trials (short of cash, sickness, hurting words, poverty, unpaid bills, children's education, at the least). Do you think both of you are prepared for this "as long as you're together"?
No one is ever sure of the path he or she will be taking once he gets married but as long as both of you are responsible enough and mature enough (physically, emotionally, financially, and mentally) to undertake this life, you'll be okay with the guidance of our Creator.
God bless and hope you'll have a happy married life.
