My father was very big on marriage.
I think a lot of people who feel as though they desperately want to be married oftentimes simply desperately want to have a wedding.
Traditional marriage is what should be sanctioned.
I didn't want to get married - I thought it was like a cult! It seemed so conservative and unnatural.
Weddings are crazy. When you get right down to it, a wedding is a party, and not an important party, really. But for young people, it becomes the biggest thing in their lives. After it's over, they realize it wasn't that big a deal.
I had many luxuries in life, even before I tied the knot.
Kiss me, Kate, we shall be married o'Sunday
I spent so many years in terror of 'making it legal' because the expression rang all too true - the wedding ritual struck me as nothing but a flowery front for the fulfilment of countless, tedious contracts and obligations.
To church in the morning, and there saw a wedding in the church, which I have not seen many a day; and the young people so merry one with another, and strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition, every man and woman gazing and smiling at them.
Marriage is like a formality for me.
I'm quite surprised I ever got married in the first place.
