1I went to this Quaker wedding once.
2It was fantastic.
3What they do is the couple comes in and they kneel down in front of the whole congregation,
4and they just stare at each other.
5And nobody says a word unless they feel that God moves them to speak or say something.
6And then after an hour or so of just, uh, staring at each other, they're married.
