wedding

Many marriages would have been laid to rest a long time ago, if they were not on a life-support machine called other people__ opinions and/or expectations.

Some people each left their spouse or lover because he or she was no longer the primary source of their happiness; some, because their spouse or lover was, at that time, the primary source of their unhappiness.

One way to be sure you are not making the wrong decision, is to lookvertically upwards

A bride never forgets her wedding ornaments, why should we forsake our heavenly Father, the bridegroom?

She forgot: it was as simple as that. She just loved being with the guy. Possibly enough that not even their own wedding could screw it up.

A bride, before a "Good-night" could be said,Should vanish from her clothes into her bed,As souls from bodies steal, and are not spied.But now she's laid; what though she be?Yet there are more delays, for where is he?He comes and passeth through sphere after sphere;First her sheets, then her arms, then anywhere.Let not this day, then, but this night be thine;Thy day was but the eve to this, O Valentine.

Here lies a she sun, and a he moon there;She gives the best light to his sphere;Or each is both, and all, and soThey unto one another nothing owe;And yet they do, but areSo just and rich in that coin which they pay,That neither would, nor needs forbear, nor stay;Neither desires to be spared nor to spare.They quickly pay their debt, and thenTake no acquittances, but pay again;They pay, they give, they lend, and so let fallNo such occasion to be liberal.More truth, more courage in these two do shine,Than all thy turtles have and sparrows, Valentine.

Marriage is not the beginning of the journey, nor the end - it is the journey.

The reason why women think men should spend a lot of money on an engagement ring is because women are the ones who get to clean up all the poop (stains and toilet bowl swirls included) that is provided by every family member living in the house until they die.

Why can't life always be lived under the stars,' she said, 'with great music and family and friends?

The first time you see your grown-up little miss looking back at you from a sea of white chiffon or beaded satin glory, indeed your heart will skip a beat. You__l find yourself blinking back tears. That elusive someday has suddenly become now. Your little girl__our jewel__s going to be a bride.

You__e spent her whole life holding her. Whether cradled in your arms as a baby or wrapped in your embrace as a young woman, she__ been yours to have and to hold, Mother of the Bride__ntil now. Now the time has come to let her go, to let herbegin her own family and pledge her allegiance to another.

Let go of your daughter with grace and you'll find her calling on you with joy.

Remember, whoever holds the purse strings for the wedding has the control. Don't accept a cent from anyone else if possible. Then you and him will be the only ones calling the shots. All the decisionswill be yours and the rest of them will just have to go along with it.

...because unlike some, I wasn't in line when they were handling out perfect genes.

Trust me, you will get plenty of "advice" from everyone and anyone on the best way to do things, and remember that you don't have to take any of it. Know that whatever you choose, THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU THE MOST WON'T MAKE THE DAY ABOUT THEM, they'll make it about you and him, and show up to celebrate your special day regardless of what you decide to do.

Well don't demand the spotlight if you can't handle the attention.

I'm a Buddhist. You might have a Christian obligation to catch pneumonia while you sit for two and a half hours listening to some twerp in a dress drone on about the virtue of wedded life but, dear as you are to me, I don't.
