Why artistes like to have shotgun marriage?
Is it desire ruled over abstain?
First was Xiang Yun with Chen Zhi Cai, second was Ivy Lee with her
director husband, third was May Phua and now Joey Swee... Seems
like a popular trend in MediaCorp..
Marriage could affect their professional careers, so some
actresses want to put it off for as long as they could. When
"accidents" do happen and a bump in the belly is hard to conceal,
unless they wished to abort the baby, marriage is the best course
of action left.
These modern women are no wide-eyed innocent virgins anyway, so
maybe to them a romp between the sheets is probably just a natural
consequence of the romances with their beaus. Not to mention
perhaps it could be an enjoyable form of recreation to them as
well.
Of course, there could also be the more conventional case in which
the beau was unwilling to settle down, but accidentally knocked the
lady up in a moment of passionate folly. So being a responsible man
(and probably silently glad that his mate was not barren), he had
no choice but to marry.
