I always envisioned myself having a traditional and elegant wedding.

I’d been a wedding singer through college, but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad, I thought, ‘Oh God, if this is all I do, I’ll never be able to live with myself.’

I want the big drama. I always said I don’t want a wedding I want a parade.

I used to work all the time, and now if there is a wedding, there’s a concert, I’m there.

I have a crusade against fondant, also shortening. There’s no reason why wedding cakes can’t taste good if you know what you’re doing.

There’s a higher form of happiness in commitment. I’m counting on it.

Of course, I do have a slight advantage over the rest of you. It helps in a pinch to be able to remind your bride that you gave up a throne for her.
