I’m choosing you as my family

Jessica Alba on marriage and how it’s not about soul mates or princesses or magic – just making a choice – the choice to become family with a person who once was not:

‘The way they market marriage – even as a kid through Disney movies – is that it’s all about Prince Charming sweeping you off your feet.

‘There’s this mentality that you need the big dress and the big day – the day every girl gets to be a princess. I didn’t agree with any of that.

‘I chose to get married because, essentially, you’re given a deck of cards in life… the one person you can choose to bring into your life as your family and to have that unconditional love with is your husband or wife.

‘I’m choosing you as my family, and we’re going to love each other through thick and thin.’
