Weddings are memories in the making. Photographers, videographers, photo booths, selfie sticks, and more will all be working overtime to capture your big day.

ERIN CELLETTI

---

At every turn, weddings are distillations of deeply held ideas about identities, localities, histories, and the present. Better yet for scholars of cultural practices, these ideas are performed at weddings, enacted on a series of community stages for the community, by the community.

TIMOTHY J. COOLEY

---

Weddings are also great chances to get to know your neighbors and friends of friends, providing valuable mortar that strengthens the bonds between society's building blocks and aids the development of deeper and stronger social connections.

If celebrity envy is the bread and butter of the entertainment zeitgeist, then celebrity weddings are the crack cocaine. Imagine the greatest day of your life: You're surrounded by your friends and family, and pledging your eternal devotion to the love of your life. Now imagine all of that, except objectively way better--that's a celebrity wedding.

AMY ZIMMERMAN

Music played at weddings always reminds me of the music played for soldiers before they go into battle.

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

EVAN ESAR

---

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."

SHANE FERRO

---

Every bride is beautiful. It's like newborn babies or puppies. They can't help it.

EMME ROLLINS

---

Instead of focusing on THE day, focus on the relationship that led to it and the lifetime of love and companionship ahead of you both.

BRANDIANNE HINTON

---

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.

Weddings remind us that our lives have meaning and that love is the strongest bond, the happiest joy, and the loveliest healing we can ever experience.

DAPHNE ROSE KINGMA

---

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.

JAIMIE MACKEY

A wedding ring is a symbol of commitment; a promise, a pledge, and a vow. The promise is to forsake all others, to stay devoted and true; the pledge is to honor that promise selflessly, to see the whole thing through; and the vow is to keep that pledge unwaveringly, until the days are few. It is a mutual agreement to become one instead of two.

J. W. LORD

---

Weddings are great fun unless you are planning one.

EMIL DROZD

---

The funny thing is that although we place so much energy and importance on our wedding day, it isn't the biggest day of our life. The biggest day of your life is every day thereafter. Because it's not the pledge to love someone that matters, but the act of fulfilling that pledge that is most important.

LAURA WOLF

---

A wedding was a strange ceremony, she thought, with all those formal words, those solemn vows made by one to another; whereas the real question that should be put to the two people involved was a very simple one. Are you happy with each other? was the only question that should be asked; to which they both should reply, preferably in unison, Yes.

Weddings are more heavily border-patrolled than Trump's America.

STEPHEN DERWENT PARTINGTON

---

Weddings are all about love, but the wedding planning part? Well, that's more about decisions and logistics and details ... definitely not romantic!

JAIMIE MACKEY

---

Always man needs woman for his friend. He needs her clearer vision, her subtler insight, her softer thought, her winged soul, her pure and tender heart. Always woman needs man to be her friend. She needs the vigor of his purpose, the ardor of his will, his calmer judgment, his braver force of action, his reverence and his devotion.

It may well be that an analysis of figures would reveal a law -- the duration of a marriage is inversely proportional to the cost of the wedding. Or, to put it another way, any union celebrated with personalized toasting flutes is doomed.
