Marriage statement

Today it is so simple to marry. You go to the city hall, you sign a piece of paper, but only before having paid in order to have all your documents modified. So what does marriage mean? Only two signatures at the cost of 189chf plus a romantic (not)free caran d'Ache pen.
Wasn't much easier twenty years ago when it was still in fashion to marry in church and make a party with all the relatives afterwards?
1987: You have to choose the dress, because it is a tradition. You must choose the cake for the party, cause it is a tradition. You must exchange rings and make toasts as your mother and father did. And then?
Act one: “To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part."
A magic formula repeated and repeated to exhaustion. Act two: “Now you may kiss the Bride"= the public declaration of love.
How many times have I seen this scene I can't recall, in movies, in the news and live aswell. As a matter of fact I attended many marriages when I was a little boy, but what interested me was the third Act: Food, food, food.
However before being in front of the buffet I had to assist to an extremely boring religious ceremony.
Christian, Jewish or Muslim, a marriage is always a marriage and also the ceremony is always the same "sacred" play...just an expensive mass or more cynically a parade of exhibition, which seems like a stuffed opulent turkey. The stuffing in the turkey represents all the ideologies that these religions suggest when you choose to make the "big step".
In other words an all-inclusive menu! You don't have to do anything, you believe in the holy, so how can you do a mistake?!...it is the best you can get, as if you were buying a car or anything that would satisfy your shopping esprit of the moment, even though you could mean it seriously.
Thank God today it is different...or maybe I shouldn't thank God?!
I'm not trying to be ambiguous, but the question is natural.
Today we have everything ready and set. It is a big Fast-food. BUT in this situation the sacred has eclipsed. Even the pre(paid) religious one. So indeed the turkey remains, but without the indigestible stuffing. Now we are the ones who need to personally put it in, with our beliefs, our illusions and our romanticisms.
With these last three I decided to make my commitment, against my old will...actually not.
I want to be dead honest. Beliefs, illusions and romanticisms came after the decision. They were conceived naturally if it is possible.
The instant pushed me. The love for fate, for destiny. The act of active acceptance (not nearly resignation), which consisted in the capacity of being able to make coincide my own will with the course of the events as they went along, in the sense that I assumed them in their innocent fortuity refusing in this manner every concept that tries to "foresee" the future closing in conceptual patterns, which betray the dynamism proper of existence.
This gave me euphoric sensations. It went to my head like drugs. I finally could smell the pure taste of life. I felt irrational. I could feel my new religion...the a' rebours chrism of the instant. Finally.
I accepted the falsity of all beliefs even though now I'm creating my own. Which are Trust, Changing and Evolving.
I know I can do this with you. This is my love for you. This is why I feel free having married you and not in chains as other people could think. Slavery is something else. It is to wait in anxiety.
We have created energy. We have established the power of will and decision, which automatically clears out many fears and it catapults us to stop being scared of guidance. With this decision we have reached the depths of the human soul.
