Every bride and groom in the history of civilization has gained weight after their wedding day. It is only a matter of time until archaeologists unearth a married caveman who's wearing a pair of old tux pants that were so tight he couldn't get the zipper closed.

About This Quote

This quote is meant to be funny, but it can also be thought of as an actual example of how our culture views marriage. We think of marriage as this big, glorious day when two people are finally united, but the truth is that it's much more than that. Marriage is hard work. There are times when you just don’t want to do it anymore and would rather leave, but then you realize how much you love your partner and how deep your commitment is to them.

When you're with someone for a long time, you learn their quirks and find out what makes them tick. You also learn what they like and don't like, which can make the relationship last much longer than if they were totally different people. It's really no surprise that people often gain weight after their wedding day.

They feel like they've already done all the hard work of finding each other and deciding to commit to each other for life, so why not enjoy it?
