-{{w|Æ}} (pronounced "ash") is a letter formed from a {{w|Ligature (writing)|ligature}} of A and E. Depending on the language, it can be pronounced as a diphthong /ae̯/ (Classical Latin), as an /ɛ/ sound like in "b''e''t" (Old Norse, later forms of Latin), as an /eɪ̯/ like in "oy v''ey''", as an /aɪ̯/ like in "''aye''-aye", or as an /æ/ like in "c''a''t" (Danish, Norwegian, {{w|Old English|Englisc}}, and in the International Phonetic Alphabet).

 The comic personifies the letters "A" and "E", imagining that the character Æ represents a romantic relationship between the two. It then imagines a situation in which the two letters end the relationship and eventually marry other letters, giving rise to two new ligatures (A with R and E with V).

	The joke in the title text is about people who brag too much about their relationships. Even though a wedding is a celebration of ”LOVE”, the joke is that V and E are so proud of their newfound relationship that they show off their combined ligature at every possible opportunity. From the perspective of the person who wrote the title text, the overuse of this gimmick made it feel annoyingly repetitive instead of cute and witty.

 The title text continues with the idea of personified letters with E's wedding invitation. In the comic, E's new relationship appears to be with the letter "V" as implied with the statement with E's wedding invitation repeatedly using the word "LOVE", which would spawn many chances to use a V+E ligature.

Part of the humor in the title text comes from the idea that the number of times the word "LOVE" is used in a wedding invitation can be defined as "strictly necessary," even though a wedding is a celebration of love. Love (presumably) is the reason for a marriage, or perhaps they are self-deluding themselves, or desperately trying to convince others that it is genuine romance rather than a relationship at least partially on the rebound from the original split. This could also be a reference to strict linguistics and grammar guidelines that do not make sense in a given context.
