A royal wedding sentiment

As usual, old Sam Pepys says it best in his great Diary.

 "December 25: To church in the morning, and there saw a wedding in the church, which I have not seen many a day: and the young people so merry with one another, and strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition, every man and woman gazing and smiling at them..."

Pepys' famous quote on seeing a marriage

So snarky, and yet such a sweet sentiment! Haha!

It is one of the great wonders of the Diary that quotations from it fall so effortlessly into modern-day life.
