Two friends, on weddings.

Cecily: Jonathan loves churches. If only we could have a non-denominational wedding in a Catholic cathedral. Or a mosque.

Alexander: Perhaps a nice, non-denominational meadow? I’m getting married in a whiskey library.

Two friends, on love.

Alexander: Love is an illusion, death is inevitable.

Cecily: Love is not an illusion. Marriage is inevitable. I will be happy.

Alexander: The very existence of love, or indeed any sentiment, is questionable. Marriage is a social construct. Happiness is rampant hedonism.

Two friends, on the doctor.

Cecily: I was looking at wedding rings this morning.

Arnaud: Why?! Butterflies’ fingers are too thin for rings dear. You must be ill. Go and see a doctor.

Cecily: I need a ring. What if I get old and nobody loves me enough to keep me company, and all I have left is old copies of Vogue magazine and thoughts about what could have been if I had shared my life with somebody? Maybe the doctor will marry me…
