Lucy Kelley, 21, will soon graduate from Georgia Tech, and I recently encountered her on a plane as she was heading to Copenhagen with friends and I was traveling to Brussels for a conference on family policy.
When I asked, she told me she wasn’t married but thinks she might like to be one day, maybe a few years down the road. She’s less sure if she wants to have kids, she said.
