Agreed!!!! I am a huge advocate of spending just as much time preparing for the marriage during the engagement as I spend on the wedding. Everything from buying books on relationships & marriage and really reading them well, to marriage prep classes and weekends, to discussions about our future with the fiance. I hold such a high reverence and respect for the institution of marriage, as well as the love I have for my fiance, that I'm determined to prepare for my marriage and not just my wedding. Thanks for posting this!!
Wow. I love Post Secret. This sort of reminds me of a link to an article that a bee posted from her mother a couple of days ago (can't find it now or would repost!). And I am in agreement... I have even caught myself getting so wrapped up in how wonderful the wedding is going to be, and while that in itself may not be so bad, it is important for us to remember as we have so much fun planning our weddings and the beautiful little details of it all that when all is said and done, we will have our man and our marriage!
I also liked the idea that someone in the "wedding industry" sees beyond the wedding and truly hopes these marriages last :)
I think that this person may be assuming that they all have horrible relationships. What about the people who spend more time on their relationships than their weddings??? While this person may be correct some of the time in regards to the issue, they are definately not correct all the time.
I think that it is sad...
I saw this yesterday and thought of the hive, not in a bad way, but it's ironic I think. It reminded me of apracticalwedding.com.
I was the director of programming for the student activities board at my undergrad, and we brought Frank Warren of Post Secret to campus back when I was there. I had dinner with him. He's a really nice guy.
I've never heard of postsecret! But I love what you found. I think there are a lot of people who lose sight of the fact that they now have to maintain a marriage after the wedding.
I can understand this. When FI and I were visiting potential reception locations one of the women asked us "what is the most important part of your wedding?" We looked at one another and I said "the fact that we are getting married" and her response was "Wow! I have never heard anyone say that before". That is scary!! Our wedding is only one day but we will be married for the rest of our lives 
I love post secret! I'd be thinking the same thing if i worked in a bridal salon. Considering what the divorce rate is, how could she NOT be pessimistic?!
I love post secret!
I think its a great reminder to all of us to spend as much time and effort on our relationships with our FIs as we do planning the wedding.
