Going to the Chapel

My friend and I were discussing her vacation and las vegas hotels. She went to Las Vegas (obviously) and they stayed in the MGM Grand. She was going on and on about how fabulous it was, but I kept having images of “CSI” where everything is dark, dreary and in need of a little flashlight. I suppose I should’ve been a little jealous, but imagining such a brightly lit city as such a dark place didn’t stir that emotion in me.

While she was there she and her husband renewed their marriage vows. Their original wedding was in front of the mayor (they eloped) and she didn’t even wear a dress. This time she went all out on a dress. They’ve been married for 8 years and she finally got the grand, expensive dress she’d always dreamed of. They only had two guests, though, which was fine by them. The fewer the better, I guess. I was not invited because I wouldn’t have gone anyway (I have no doubt that I would’ve been sucked in at a slot machine and stuck there until someone pried me away with a crow bar), but I’m really happy for them. If they can stick it out a few more years then the odds are in favor of them. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them. Does that sound bad? Probably, but the way the divorce rate is in this country I have good reason to be skeptical (and I know what their relationship has been like for the last few years).

I personally think that divorces should be more difficult to obtain than marriages. I mean, they cost a lot of money (mostly attorney fees), but if all parties are agreeable then they pretty much happen over night. I think that people should be more educated before they get married so that they’re less likely to get divorced. Of course, that might put some attorneys out of business, but, um, oh well. That’s just my opinion and yours is probably different (especially if you’re on your third or fourth spouse).
