One of my favorite thoughts, and I think it came from a movie, is that the reason to get married is to have a witness to your life. It's the sort of idea that might not strike you immediately as brilliant, but over time it unfolds.Another great quote along those same lines - and I wish I knew who said it - goes something like "You're not a writer until a writer tells you you're ...Contribute comment -
