Mid 30's, married, no kids here. My social life took a significant uptick midway through 2021, even compared to pre-pandemic. And I can attribute that to one factor: Weddings. Both my brother and one of my sports buddies got married in 2020 but had to delay wedding celebrations. And suddenly, not only are there weddings but there are bachelor parties, hey-maybe-we-should-meet-before-the-wedding gatherings, follow up dinners, "hey we hang out every Memorial Day, want to come?" offers, etc. Of course, my buddy and his wife are expecting now (congrats and I'll see him again in 5 years), my brother will likely be there soon and I just took on a bunch more work responsibilities. The flow of social gatherings will almost certainly ebb this year.
