we need a witness

- Why is it, do you think, that people get married?
- Passion.

- No.
- That's interesting. Because I would've taken you for a romantic. Why, then?

- Because we need a witness to our lives.

There's a billion people on the planet.
I mean, what does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything - the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...
All of it. All the time, every day.
You're saying, "Your life will not go unnoticed, because I will notice it.

"Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness."
