We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. — Preamble to the US Constitution (emphasis by author)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. - The Declaration of Independence (emphasis by author)

Marriage is nothing more than legalized slavery for women. They put a bow on it and a 10k+ price tag for all of the trimmings. They call us a ‘princess’ for the day. We wear tiaras on our heads as we walk over rose petals thrown at our feet. We’re so entranced with all the sparkling things that we don’t notice what’s right in front of our faces within earshot.
