Danielle Deckard shared marriage-free new video for "Put That Ring Away"

There is this stereotype that all women dream of their wedding day and wearing “the white dress.” While some do, I never have, and I know many other women share this viewpoint. I’ve never felt like getting married is something that will validate me as a person, or my role in my relationship and within my family. I think everyone should be able to get married if they want to. But choosing not to get married should not be treated as the abnormal, the unconventional. You know what I mean – the 30 year old single woman goes to the family party and everyone asks her when she’s FINALLY going to find someone, so she doesn’t wind up a cat lady, or an old spinster. Meanwhile the 30 year old single man is a bachelor – a word that holds such positive connotations. Or maybe it’s the 30 year old woman who lives with her partner of several years, always getting asked when she’s finally going to “pin him down.”
