If it were not for the presents, an elopement would be preferable.

Every bride and groom in the history of civilization has gained weight after their wedding day. It is only a matter of time until archaeologists unearth a married caveman who's wearing a pair of old tux pants that were so tight he couldn't get the zipper closed.

PETER SCOTT

---

Every bride and groom would do well to remember that in wedding, the we comes before the I.

EVAN ESAR

---

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

STEPHEN DERWENT PARTINGTON

---

Weddings are meant to be a celebration of love, but all too often this sentiment gets hijacked by the pressures of delivering a "perfect day."

KATE WATSON

---

She could hear the voices and laughter coming from the yard, and she thought, really, this was the best part of any wedding, not the ceremony or the cake or the dancing but the downtime when they were all together without the lights shining on them.

ELIN HILDERBRAND

---

These days, a wedding is to show wealth, to show status--this is wrong from the beginning. The whole of society should not pay the price for two families to show off.

OU VIRAK

---

Many a husband lives to regret the extravagant fee he bestowed upon the minister who sentenced him.

EVAN ESAR

---

Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming experience. Bridal trends are ever-evolving and once you fall down the rabbit hole of countless Instagram accounts, Pinterest boards and wedding magazines, it can be hard to know where on earth to begin.

EMILY BLATCHFORD

---

All good fairy tales begin, "Once upon a time" and end with, "They lived happily ever after." Almost every little girl begins to plan her "special day" by the time she can string that many words together in a sentence. At the risk of sounding sexist, while little boys are playing cowboys and indians or conquering outer space, little girls are trying to decide which one of them would clean up well enough to participate in her wedding.

In the social media age, having the "best wedding ever" is now a prerequisite for getting married, so just imagine the stress that also brings if the bride suddenly has doubts. Calling off a wedding has a lot of negative effects -- family disappointment, gossip as to why it ended, financial strain. I think some brides just get to the stage where they have spent/planned so much that it's just easier to go through with it than call the whole thing off.

Is there anyone who thinks that the resolution can come later when it is really needed? So it is not needed then, not on the wedding day, when the eternal pledge is entered into? But then, later? Can he mean that there was no thought of leaving one another, but of enjoying the first gladness of their union-and so united, of finding support in the resolution? Then when toil and trouble come, and need, be it physical or spiritual, stands at the door, then the time is there? Aye, indeed, the time is there-the time for the resolved individual to muster up his resolution; but not just the time to form a resolution. It is true that distress and failure may help a man to seek God in a resolution; but the question is whether the conception is always the right one, whether it is joyful, whether it does not have a certain wretchedness, a secret wish that it were not necessary, whether it may not be out of humor, envious, melancholy, and so no ennobling reflection of the trials of life. There is in the state a loan association to which the indigent may apply. The poor man is helped, but I wonder if that poor man has a pleasant conception of the loan-association. And so there may also be a marriage which first sought God when in difficulty, alas, sought Him as a loan-association; and everyone who first seeks God for the first time when in difficulties, always runs this danger. Is then such a late resolution, which even if it were a worthy one, was not without shame and not without great danger, bought at the last moment, is that more beautiful, and wiser than the resolution at the beginning of marriage?

Despite all the planning and preparation that goes into their weddings, couples often find their wedding days to be whirlwind days that seem to fly by.

DEB HUTMIRE

---

If they had only themselves to consider, lovers would not need to marry, but they must think of others and of other things. They say their vows to the community as much as to one another, and the community gathers around them to hear and to wish them well, on their behalf and its own. It gathers around them because it understands how necessary, how joyful, and how fearful this joining is. These lovers, pledging themselves to one another "until death," are giving themselves away, and they are joined by this as no law or contract could join them.

WENDELL BERRY

---

A wedding is the last gasp of your childhood family.

KAREN SCHWARTZ

---

Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring.

Your wedding day FLIES. No matter how much you spent, what hoops you jumped through, and what the weather is doing -- take a minute to slow down and take it all in. Chances are it will be the best day of your life.

KRISTEN S.

---

Let the vow of this day keep itself wildly and wholly
Spoken and silent, surprise you inside your ears
Sleeping and waking, unfold itself inside your eyes
Let its fierceness and tenderness hold you
Let its vastness be undisguised in all your days.

Some brides believe sugar cubes tucked into their wedding gloves leads to a sweet union.

Pinterest reports that brunch weddings are the next big thing we'll be attending. Coffee and nuptials, anyone?
