Marriage Quote by Charlize Theron
“We are not planning a wedding. Still, everytime we get the Irish papers there is something in them about the wedding Stuart and I are supposedly having.

I read about it and think 'wow, these Irish sure know how to do it - even when they're making it up.”

I just don't want to be away from my husband, my dogs and my home. I don't sing that much any more because that also takes you on the road.” quote by Jane Powell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/jane-powell-36243_away_i-don-t-like-being-away-from-home-that-s_278.jpg)
