Mitchell's views of marriage

An online friend of mine is getting married this weekend and as I was wishing her luck, I said, "Remember, it's just a formality."

That's stuck with me since Mitchell said it. (yes, he did say it. I just channeled him 'cause Lord knows I'd never thought of it in those terms) The wedding is nothing but a formality because you made the commitment to each other long ago. You know... when you decided to go on ahead and give her the ring. Even though when he gave Kerri her ring, they both tried to pretend it didn't even mean an engagement to wed but a promise to be faithful while he spent six weeks in Phoenix, recording the Freaks of Evolution album.

But think about it and you'll see he's right. The wedding is just making public what you and your love have already agreed to. Because if you didn't agree, why are you putting yourself through that much stress?
