I agree that society's idea that marriage is the ultimately goal is complete BS and I hate that notion. In fact there was a discussion on reddit today about how society seems to think it ridiculous to even go out to dinner or to a movie by yourself; looking at that as pathetic... Again, another notion I disagree with.
However, while not all women may want to be married or be seen as "failures" by society if they don't, because this woman was married, it's clear that she wanted to and would be excited about it.
It's still a major life event that made her happy and deserves some congratulations or recognition. If the woman had, for some reason, been a huge WOW fan and just won a big national tournament or something, that could've been brought up and wouldn't have connotations along with it. It's still just as irrelevant, but once again, human beings usually seek to bring up and congratulate people publicly on major life events they find important.
