If we looking at the Wikipedia, marriage means “a socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. It is principally an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged.”
What a long definition. But definitely the definition of the term “marriage” is not that simple. No one can tell what marriage is, even for those who are already married.

多少個無眠夜晚，姊妹們通過電話線兩端訴說親密心事。然後有一天，姊妹們逐一披起嫁衣，有人幸福美滿，有人焦頭爛額，有人終身不嫁，有人兒孫滿堂。究竟女人為什麼而結婚？究竟女人行哪一條路才是最快樂？
一紙婚書，對阿Sue來說雖然並不等同天長地久，但當愛的承諾在耳邊回響，難免有時令人衝動。愛情路上的跌跌撞撞，亦多少影響一個人的婚姻觀。不過即使面對鑽石的閃光，阿Sue仍堅持自由的心。
阿Sue以姊妹身份目睹一個女人結婚時的喜悅，亦見證一個女人結婚後的無奈。一夜間的身份轉變，不少女人最後為家庭放棄事業，姊妹情亦難再。
結婚，一生人一次。很多人認為，結婚一天，是一個女人一生人之中，最美麗、最動人的一天。新娘贏盡讚美與目光，是全世界的主角。結婚是一個女人的人生高峰。那婚後的女人，還會是自己人生的主角嗎？
