I do, but I'm on the brink of turning 30. And I've been with my partner for 7 years, so while that's not the same as a marriage, we do have shared bills and expenses, a pet, a rental house, etc. So there isn't a huge gap in life stages or anything.
My social group is pretty small these days, but I really enjoy my one set of married friends. I am closer to one of them and will spend time with her individually, but I also enjoy hanging out at their house and discussing shared interests and world issues with them both. I'm not uncomfortable around couples at all, unless it seems like the dynamic between them is unhealthy in some way. (Which is all too common--but certainly not inherent to the experience.)

I’m not friends with anyone married. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable, but usually I have a different mindset than married people. (ie: I like traveling and moving around a lot, and you tend to not get that freedom in a marriage.)
My partner is my best friend and he’s married… to me 
We’re somewhat introverted and have moved around a lot so neither of us have many close friends we keep in touch with.
We’re coming up on 2 and a half years of marriage. I will say the majority of our acquaintances are all married, but it’s a bit harder to find couples we relate to. We do not want children, but most people we know have kids.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s just not too often we come across couples similar to us!

Nope! I've had several grade school and high school classmates already engaged, married, and some have kids as well though. None of my close friends are married, but most of us are in long-term relationships (between 5-10 years) so we like to joke around thinking which one of us would get married first, haha. We're all still trying to find a good footing financially or are finishing career goals before settling down. 
If anything I'm really really impressed with my batchmates who are already stable enough to settle down, that's definitely the endgoal
I always feel like I'm not ready because I have so much on my plate so marriage is just not in the near future. My boyfriend understands though and is also in the same position where he wants to finish his masters before settling. I'd probably be 30 by the time I get married, but honestly I don't feel like I'm in a rush!

I met my best friend online when I was a kid. She was already married with children when I met her. We just clicked immediately. She practically watched me grow up.
Friends for 7 years this March.
We fell out in mid 2023 but reconnected a couple weeks back.
I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything.

i’m 25 and i know high school acquaintances (straight) who’ve been married with kids since we were like, 23-24.
alternatively, my close friend from high school (lesbian, 26) is divorced.
two opposite ends of the spectrum there…
more commonly, i know a lot of gay + trans couples my age who are like, basically functionally married, because they’re in very committed relationships and have moved in with their partners. like me! : )
