I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I’d like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you’ve done that, your marriage becomes everybody else’s business.

Jenkins draws a firm boundary between private commitment and public consumption. By rejecting the sale of wedding photographs, she frames marriage as an intimate rite rather than a commodified media event. The remark also critiques celebrity culture’s tendency to turn personal milestones into marketable content: once images are sold, the couple implicitly invites commentary, scrutiny, and a sense of public entitlement. Her emphasis on the wedding as a “special day” underscores authenticity and emotional presence, while the warning that “your marriage becomes everybody else’s business” highlights how publicity can reshape expectations, narratives, and pressures around a relationship.
