Song Released: 2011
I Don't Want to Be a Bride Lyrics
-
Its a comment on societies view on marriage verses her own view. We look at women today in their late 20s and think... well its time you settle down. Its time you find a man and get married. Shes saying she doesn't think marriage always equals love. Shes saying that you can have this great and beautiful love and commit to and promise each other without having to sign papers or make promises before a god. Anyways.. shes saying she wants to be with this guy and live happily ever after, she just doesn't want to be a bride. I like "our last names on a wooden sign" because i think its a bit of a feminist comment. Traditionaly the women always takes her husbands name as an old symbol of her being his property. By saying "OUR last names" vanessa is saying they are and forever will be equals in love.

Marriage doesn't matter, as long as they're in love..
