Summary

This quote suggests that while the wedding ceremony itself was short and lasted only six minutes, the actual marriage did not endure for much longer. It implies that despite the brevity of the ceremony, the relationship ultimately failed, as evidenced by the mention of getting a divorce almost a year later. The quote likely highlights the idea that the length of a wedding ceremony does not necessarily reflect the longevity or success of a marriage.
