No, don't fear, ladies of The Flood (all, like, three of you), not me. Edited into title.
Over Christmas, a good friend of mine got engaged. She was actually into me at one point, but alas (for her) I didn't feel the same way. Feels kinda weird now that she's going to marry another guy, but maybe that's only because they've known each other for all of 7 months.
Anyway, that's another friend of mine engaged. Which means I now know at least six couples engaged in the last few years (and some before). And five of them are of my generation. That's scary. I guess I'm just getting to that age now. I mean, even if I've never been in something for more than a few months, I've certainly been a young adult for five years, and my friends are all roughly that age too, so I guess it makes sense, being in relationships for that long. Ish.
The good news is, I'm not alone. Let's just hope it works.
How many people do you know taking the next step? Does it (not freak you out, but just) make you realise your age when relationships and lives start to develop?

It can be scary because it is a HUGE change. You're no longer in your parents home under their protection. You are now the protector and provider for another... As scary as it may be, it all gets put to rest because that person you are getting married to is your best friend! So when you finally live together, it will be different but you can do it together.
