It stings a little bit to read this. Not because she divorced, but because the only thing I can when I see her wedding photos, if it was a sham, how could she do that? I always played dress up as a girl, and so if it was a sham it was just one more production to smile and look pretty at. But how could see look at herself in the mirror while wearing that wedding dress and do that? For me, my wedding was such an intimate reflection moment about myself and where my life was going. The dress begged a question of me that I really had to make sure I could answer the right way. I mean, as I turned the corner and looked my soon-to-be husband in the eye, the words “This is it” flung themselves all through my body. In that moment I wasn’t able to pretend anymore. It was me, the dress holding me to my promise, and my husband.

For me to get married as a publicity stunt… It would take a serious blind eye and some anesthetizing of what I know to be true.

So on one hand, I’m not surprised in the least. It’s one more celebrity marriage that fell apart. One more picture in the gallery of “Shortest Celebrity Marriages”. I don’t even care that they got divorced because I know they don’t take it seriously, so I’m not offended when they don’t.

I just don’t know how a girl could look at her wedding-dressed self and do that. I couldn’t have. All the hopes, dreams, tears, work, love, and effort leading up to that moment, only to earn money from it? I would have to be very numb and pretend that for me, as a woman, that moment was worth nothing.
