but take a good look before you do because, just maybe, you look absolutely beautiful the way you are. — Grace Coddington

I can only speak from my personal experience, but I've been married for ten years and barely any gay people have tried to break up my marriage. I say barely any because that Nate Berkus is a little shady. I am defenseless against his cuteness and eye for accessories.
