Honestly, I just think that if you're gonna be together, you're gonna be together forever. It doesn't really matter if you have the wedding or not.
Ariana Madix, with words both simple and profound, declared: “Honestly, I just think that if you’re gonna be together, you’re gonna be together forever. It doesn’t really matter if you have the wedding or not.” In this statement, she pierces through custom and ceremony to touch upon the eternal essence of love. What binds two souls is not parchment, ritual, or public declaration, but the unshakable will of the heart to remain joined.
The ancients would have recognized this truth in their own way. For while temples and rites gave order to society, the bond of togetherness was sacred long before priest or law gave it name. A covenant of hearts, forged in trust and tested by time, was seen as more enduring than any oath spoken before the crowd. Madix reminds us that the truest union exists beyond symbols — that destiny is not written in documents, but in devotion.
History offers proof in the story of Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper, the great Russian playwright and the actress who became his partner. Though bound only briefly by formal marriage, their true bond was one of spirit and art. Through letters written across distance and years, they remained together, their love outlasting illness and hardship. Their forever was not in ceremony but in the enduring presence they held in one another’s lives.
Madix’s words also serve as a challenge to vanity. Many seek the grandeur of the wedding, the splendor of robes and rings, forgetting that these are but outward signs. Without the inner bond, the pageantry fades into dust. But when two souls are truly one, they are married already in spirit, and no absence of ritual can diminish that truth.
Let the generations remember: love’s permanence is not measured in feasts or ceremonies, but in loyalty, trust, and shared journey. To be truly together is to be bound beyond time, beyond law, beyond custom. As Ariana Madix teaches, the essence of forever lies not in the wedding, but in the steadfast hearts that choose, day after day, never to part.

It’s interesting to think about weddings this way—like they're not the ultimate test of a relationship. Instead, Ariana’s point seems to focus on the idea that if a relationship is meant to last, it will, with or without the ceremony. But it makes me wonder, is that feeling about rejecting traditional expectations or more about personal beliefs on what truly matters in a relationship? Could some people feel a little disappointed if they never get that 'wedding' moment?

This quote makes me think about how society views marriage. While some might see weddings as a necessary milestone, Ariana seems to believe that true love doesn’t need to be validated by a wedding. But do you think some people want that experience for the celebration and memories, even if they already feel strongly committed? What if the idea of having a wedding is just about creating lasting moments with the people you love?

I think Ariana makes an interesting point, questioning the significance of a wedding. Does a ceremony really define whether a relationship will last forever? Maybe love and commitment are more about the actions we take day-to-day rather than a single event. But, do you think for some couples, having a wedding is an important way to publicly commit to each other, regardless of whether they believe in forever?

This perspective is refreshing, isn't it? Sometimes, society puts so much pressure on events like weddings, making us believe they're the ultimate measure of a relationship. But Ariana's take seems to suggest that true commitment doesn't need a grand ceremony to prove its worth. Do you think this approach works for everyone, though? I wonder if some people might feel differently about the importance of a wedding in their relationship.
