I never realized how many quotes, songs, and things are taken completely out of context for weddings until I started looking up things for my own wedding. Today I saw a wine glass with an Oscar Wilde quote. "Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling".

I get that they probably were talking about getting on one knee and proposing.

But I'm 110% positive that was not what Oscar was referring to.

	You're entirely correct. I'm not entirely sure how I had missed it all this time... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel I should say I'm sorry for popping your bubble? Although, as an English lit major, be prepared for worse when it comes to analysing Shakespeare... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I never have been one for analysing literature. Perhaps it is best, in this case, if I keep it this way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, far too much of my classes were spent analyzing things. God forbid an author describe a door color without a professor somewhere assigning meaning to that color. Trust me, if I say a door is yellow, it's because I am just trying to give a picture of the building for someone to see clearly. It never has any hidden meanings like that. But in cases like theirs, they never mean anything so straight forward.

	While I'm sure that there are some authors who carefully choose every word for symbolic reasons, yes, I'm also quite certain that sometimes the literary minded can read far too deeply into things. (Reply to this) (Parent)
