When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?
Interpretation
What this quote means
True love transcends the formalities of a wedding ceremony.

When the bride and her lover share a deep bond, the extravagance of the wedding party becomes insignificant, suggesting that genuine affection and understanding between partners are far more important than societal expectations or rituals.

We live on the flat, on the level, and yet - and so - we aspire. Groundlings, we can sometimes reach as far as the gods. Some soar with art, others with religion; most with love. But when we soar, we can also crash. There are few soft landings. We may find ourselves bouncing across the ground with leg-fracting force, dragged towards some foreign railway line. Every love story is a potential grief story. If not at first, then later. If not for one, then for the other. Sometimes, for both.

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
