Actress Jessica Alba had a hard time agreeing to tie the knot with her husband, Cash Warren, because she has never believed in marriage, reports Orange News.
The couple took the plunge in 2008 in a low key ceremony at the Beverly Hills City Hall. It was only a few weeks later that Alba gave birth to their daughter, Honor Marie, now 20 months.
"I had a hard time agreeing with marriage at all because I feel like it’s been warped. Originally, it was two families coming together to make a stronger family. It was about survival – not love or soul mates. And now the way they market marriage – even as a kid through Disney movies – is that it’s all about Prince Charming sweeping you off your feet."
The actress adds that, "There’s this mentality that you need the big dress and the big day – the day every girl gets to be a princess. I didn’t agree with any of that. This tradition of obeying your husband like he’s your king? It’s a load of c**p. Love and honor, yes. But you should love and honor yourself too, and all your friends."
Jessica Alba shares the screen with other big names like Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day coming to theatres on February 12.
