00:00Why the wedding has to be such a big thing?

00:03It is the biggest festival of the body.

00:06And we are animal bodies.

00:07We are dogs and cats with a social face.

00:09So dogs and cats can just go and mate anywhere.

00:13We are not allowed by the society to do that.

00:15Hence, we organize a festival.

00:18A festival to grant us religious and social and legal license.

00:24What exactly are you celebrating?

00:26You are celebrating pleasure.

00:27You are celebrating security.

00:29You are celebrating continuity by way of reproduction.
