The conversation flows, the mutual interests are established, the overlaps are incredible. Is there nothing we don't share, you wonder?

Multiple "I do's" might be one.

Unless this particular person is a practicing polygamist, I've never quite understood the concept of marrying more than, oh let's just say, a couple of times. Three times or more…not so much.

Perhaps, its been suggested, removing "I do" from one's vocabulary and substituting "maybe", "I'll think about it," or "ask me next year" might work. But, for matters of the heart, and additionally the pockets of divorce lawyers, it appears that I do, I do, I do…forever and ever and ever, until it isn't, works for some.

So it is with some perverse glee that I find myself combing the NY Times Sunday Style section to read about those that are in the throes of forever and ever. The need for the inclusion of the bride's previous 3 marriages, the groom's previous 2 marriages, all ending in divorce seems a tab bit of too much information and a portent of not so much happily ever after, don't you think?  I can picture a cadre of divorce lawyers combing these pages too, making a list, sending a letter of introduction, maybe. 

Included, recently, was the announcement of a marriage of a young couple who, it seems to me, might be working in consort with the legal community. This particularly enterprising new bride has a business, you see, called "I do now I don't". 

Not sure what to get the thrice married? A link to this site might be the perfect gift.
