The weddings that I've been in have been pretty mellow.

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.

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

Some brides stress, some don't. I think I'm a serene bride.

I am usually part of any disaster at a wedding if I'm a bridesmaid, which I've been lucky enough to be several times.

I really was about to pass out during my entire wedding. I just didn't know if I could marry anybody.

People's personalities get tweaked at weddings.

I kind of love going to weddings - it's a guilty pleasure. I've never been the wedding-y type girl dreaming about the big day, the dress, but I always cry. Always. Even if I don't know the bride that well, I'm verklempt!

The day of the wedding went like these things generally do, full of anxious moments interspersed with black comedy.

I felt very unstressed on my wedding day. I'm very grateful for that... spending the day on my own, being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing.
