Wedding quote

Wedding, what's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual. True, yes, but a wedding is also life at its most hopeful--full of promise and happiness and love.

Kennedy Weddings: A Family Album


It sounds like a con and diverting from actual issues that LGBTQ+ face. And in 2017, I just can't see myself in a white dress walking down the aisle, I just don't think it's necessary anymore. And maybe it's the rise of feminism that makes me what to move away from this patriarchal bond. But weddings are overrated and its all just a concept and a show.

Thanks to film and media fuelling the big marriage myth, people often enter into it expecting perfection -- or at least a version of the Hollywood dream. Disclaimer: It's all a trick.

Weddings are not over until they are sealed with a kiss.

The best wedding I've ever been to was in a bar, and there were not very many flowers, and after we went for pizza.

Weddings are the biggest relationship killers out there. If you can survive the wedding, they say, the rest is a piece of cake.

It has been said that a wedding is the bride's day and the groom goes along for the ride. I believe this to be partially true, and I also believe that he might roll his eyes occasionally when you make suggestions or try to involve him in planning the minutiae that you find so important. Don't feel let down. You're interested in the perfect wedding ... but almost better yet, he's only really interested in you!

A wedding is not a wedding without the feast -- the ceremonial extension of celebration to the community, where the meal laid on is not just a feeding but an elaborate and extravagant bacchanal, accompanied by much drinking and the offering of public toasts. Nor is a wedding a wedding without the intensity of sexual consummation in the nuptial bed. Most couples these days are well experienced at sexual intercourse by the time they reach their wedding day. Even so, they do not neglect that special act of coupling on their wedding night, even though they may be tired from dancing and smiling and talking with friends. Here ceremony finally reaches the flesh.

The Drama of Everyday Life


I never did, nor do I believe I ever shall, give advice to a woman who is setting out on a matrimonial voyage; first, because I never could advise one to marry without her own consent; and, secondly, I know it is to no purpose to advise her to refrain when she has obtained it. A woman very rarely asks an opinion or requires advice on such an occasion, till her resolution is formed; and then it is with the hope and expectation of obtaining a sanction, not that she means to be governed by your disapprobation, that she applies.

Remember, a wedding is a celebration of your union, and there's no price tag on what your love and your promises mean to your future. Don't fall into the trap of thinking a bigger wedding means you love each other more.

How to Have a Fabulous Wedding for $10,000 or Less


The first thing to do when wedding planning seems to be taking over your life is to take a break. Hit pause, put your binder and magazines away, and agree not to talk about your wedding for a full 24 hours. Your love and your marriage? By all means, dream away! But forget about the details and the to-do lists.

Many a wedding takes place when a man can't afford to go steady with a girl any longer.

I'm a firm believe that every girl should get one Barbie dream wedding in her lifetime, but if that marriage craps out, I'm also a firm believer that all future weddings must be banned to beaches and back yards.

The Hope List


Marriage as an institution is thousands of years old. It has changed in its purpose somewhat, but if you go far enough back, it was essentially a way to confer legitimacy on procreation. That is, it was about making sure that a father's son was really his. That's for a lot of reasons, but a big one is for the transfer of property from father to son, bypassing the women in the family entirely, in most cultures. These days, it's about commitment and love and having a great party. It's also about transferring your money to two dozen different vendors who have doubled their normal prices just because you said the word "wedding."

I'm seeing a huge trend to much, much smaller weddings. A smaller guest list means the couple is able to really spend quality time with all of their guests. A huge wedding can feel like a three-ring circus. There is so much excitement that you only have a minute to talk to each guest.

Weddings are run on a very tight schedule and if the ceremony doesn't start when it should, guests will be eyeballing the open bar and not the bride.
