"Men are April when they woo, December when they wed: maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives." (4.1.154)

To be honest, I was a little taken back my all of the weddings, and fake weddings throughout this play. People do not coincidentally all find their true love that quickly at the same time. Then I decided that  the marriages had to be symbolic of something because this is literature. According to the quote, men are blossoming and new when they are searching for Mrs. Right, but cold when they get married while women also start out bright and cheery but change for the worst because of marriages.  I think this means in a nutshell that marriages force people to grow up. With that in mind, Shakespeare is merely making all of his characters grow up and become mature. Marriage opens another chapter in a couples life just as December brings about the new year. These people don't need to be silly anymore because they've found love.
