For many, many people, getting married is one of the most important things they will ever do in the pursuit of happiness.

I love weddings: happy people coming together to celebrate in great clothes.

I love going to weddings.

People's personalities get tweaked at weddings.

Marriage is important to me and I love the idea of being married.

It's not that I think weddings - or marriages - are letdowns. It's just that I want to see my wedding as one awesome achievement on a continuum of achievements, all of which were, in their way, just as beautiful and profound for having led me to the current one.

I see an insidious problem in the marketing of weddings as 'the happiest day of your life.' The pressure that is placed upon this event to be the alpha and omega of your entire existence makes it, I think, into a kind of nuptial New Year's Eve, and we all know how that usually turns out.

To me, marriage is really important and what we build families on. That's why gay marriage is really important.
