Marriage: the unforeseen consequence of a wedding.
Marriage: a state of bliss in which if one partner dies unexpectedly, the other is the prime suspect.
Marriage: the process by which, after two become one, they decide which one.
Marriage: a partnership formed with no clear objective and sustained by the absence of any clear alternative.

A summer vacation seems wonderful in prospect, but then, in the actual experience, it so often diminishes to the point of becoming a series of irritations, until, inevitably, it retreats into memory and becomes wonderful again.
And therein lies the question -- if you look forward to your vacation with great anticipation and remember it with wistful pleasure, does it really matter if you didn't actually enjoy it?
