A Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
What I object to is the hyper-fetishized wedding day, the prioritizing of wedding over marriage.

I think that the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight - it's not a 'gay wedding,' it's just a 'wedding'... It's not a 'gay marriage,' it's just 'a marriage.'

Tying the knot means slipping a noose around love and choking it to death.
