* A special note: The pronouns he and she run through all my commentary on the excerpts in this section, a fact that may justifiably be construed to suggest that Shakespeare conceived of weddings as unions between he’s and she’s. Maybe he did. Doesn’t mean we do. Should you find yourself in need of some words of wisdom for a match between a he and a he or a she and a she, don’t rule the Bard out. Just juggle those pronouns as necessary, and you’ll have enough Shakespeare for the Occasion of a Same-Sex Wedding to tide you over.
