the songs paints how much pretense is involved in marriages. people get sucked into these social expectations, and their families just make the situations worse. in both the south and the midwest (where i live), it seems like people get married quite early because they feel that's what is expected. and all the trappings of marriage are just sad artifacts of this social rubric....the annoying get-togethers with in-laws, etc. the song makes me so glad i am gay. :)
