'I'd chime in with a 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'' - I think this means that he already knows about the bride's promiscuous past but that she has changed and these people should 'close the door on the past' and not bring it up. General CommentI think its about the groom overhearing the bridesmaid gossip to the waiter that the bride is a whore. I think this song says a lot about the powerful influence of others (society), especially when it regards something one takes to heart. So he's trying to look on the bright side of things, 'this calls for a toast so pour the champagne.' But is he genuinely happy with the situation? Even if he did prevent a miserable marriage? It just wreaks of sarcasm and dismay. technically our marriage is saved', because if he would've married a whore (suspected) they would've had a horrible marriage. His frustration ultimately leads to the cancellation of the wedding, and again he tries to make himself feel better: 'I'll look at it this way. He tries to make himself feel better, tells himself to be calm and not to overreact, that everything will work out: '.sense of poise and rationality', but you can tell it's eating at him inside. Is there any validity in their suggestion? Hearing someone suggest you're soon-to-be-wife is a whore is pretty daunting if you ask me.

You tell yourself you could not care less about what someone else thinks, but if someone suggested something bad about something you valued, you would definitely (subconsciously) consider it. Truth is, whether we admit it or not, we tend to regard what others think of us. Which I interpret as 'keep your thoughts to yourself'. I think the groom overhears the conversation (since he's nervously pacing) and obviously gets upset, '.you people.goddamn door?!'. My InterpretationBeautiful thing about music (and art in general) is one's freedom of interpretation. So pour the champagne, pour the champagne I mean, technically, our marriage is saved No, it's much better to face these kinds of things 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?' What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore' What a beautiful wedding', says a bridesmaid to a waiter
