I just browsed some website, reading the following new:

Pity ain't pretty in Hollywood.

Jennifer Aniston told Access� Nancy O�Dell that she doesn�t want anyone�s pity, that she might leave L.A. and that she and Brad Pitt are not in a race to the altar.

my question is:

what dose "not in a race" mean?

Thanks in advance, dear teacher.

When she says they aren't in a race to the altar, she means they aren't racing against each other to be the first to get married.

Thanks Teacher!

It turns out that Jen dosen't wanna to strike to be the first to get married, in terms of Brad.

Thanks again, Brian.
