It seems to be like this 'last hurrah' thing at a strip club is the same as a dying man's last meal. Is that what you're suggesting? Is being married to me that torturous? If so, then why bother getting married at all?

I don't think that's what it implies. You can want something but at the same time recognize that you won't be able to do X or Y as easily once it happens, so you want to do it one last time before. For instance, some couples take one last big trip just the 2 of them before having a baby because they won't do it again for a long while after the birth. It doesn't mean they see being parents as torturous.

What it does imply that there are things you could do just before marriage that you won't be able to do after the wedding, which doesn't make sense for many couples these days. My partner and I, like most couples, have the same exclusivity boundaries before and after. I think it made more sense when people were really going from single to married on the wedding day.
