No White Wedding.
 
 

Consummate feminist and known omnisexual Liz Smith on marriage: "Here’s my advice to those about to marry: Don’t. Take the money. Take the money and buy yourself a fabulous apartment and don’t spend the money on the wedding. It is the biggest throwaway and means nothing later. It’s the biggest waste of money and effort that I’ve ever heard of." [wowowow]

Here's my advice to those about to buy a fabulous apartment: don't. Take the money, talk about the future with the one you love, and commit in a marriage ceremony. A materialistic apartment is the biggest throwaway and means nothing later.

Here’s my advice to those conflicted on whether or not to buy a fabulous apartment or have a wedding: It doesn't matter what others think. D what YOU want. Neither will mean anything after you are dead. They only have the meanings you personally attach to them.

Doesn't going to City Hall and getting married there cost very little? Marriage doesn't even have to really cost anything.

I agree Charles. Why does one have to choose? Buy a fabulous apartment, get married there and have an elegant black-tie cocktail party afterwards.

Liz is right.
Marriage is for losers.

Then again, she has been married twice, i think, so perhaps she knows whereof she speaks. Of course, those were straight marriages.

The best reason to get married is for the presents!

Take your money and invest in a lifetime together and never, ever listen to bitter old lesbians.

On the other hand, she was in the closet and denied her sexuality until she was like 80.

Her point- which some of you don't get- is to not pay 50k in a wedding or more. Yes, Gertrude, people are paying that and more on weddings now. Why do you crazy bitches think businesses are so happy about gay marriage in California? It certainly ain't because they all support gay marriage. It's going to be a money making bonazana. If you got the money, spend it, but if you don't, save it to buy a house. You can do what you want, but ignoring good advice is kind of retarded.

I do get what she is saying. My husband is in the wedding biz and people regularly spend hundreds of thousands for the big day. What is funny/revolting are the million dollar projects that take a year to plan and execute, then you hear about the couple splitting-up a few months after the honeymoon…..Priceless.
