Elizabeth: Do you think you and Rudy will ever tie the knot, Candace? Candace: I dunno. We kinda like things the way they are. I mean, we're legally responsible for our relationship anyway... so, why make a public declaration of our love? Elizabeth: Tradition!!! Candace: Elizabeth, nobody's gonna make me shove these bones into a flouncy white wedding dress, just for the sake of tradition!! And you? Elizabeth: I'd do it for my mom.
Much more than tradition. A public declaration of love is romantic, and lets the other person and everyone else know you’re both committed to the relationship.
