Marriage theme
From Issue 2579:CURMUDGEON’S CONUNDRUM
If brides wear white at weddings to represent happiness, then why do grooms wear black?
Which prompted these 'buttheads to write in:
* From Gordon Hinds: I think brides wear white to symbolise sexual and moral purity (virgin). Grooms wear black as it symbolises the death of their wayward bachelor ways...
* From Andrew Mason: On the marriage theme, marriage is like a castle under siege: lots of people on the outside trying to get in and lots of people on the inside trying to get out.
This week's Curmudgeon's Observations are going to have a marriage theme. Submit your "observations" in the comments section of this post.

Second marriages are a triumph of hope over experience.
Samuel Johnson
So, you think your prospective wife will be your best friend? Put her and your dog in the trunk of your car for an hour. Then open it up & see who is really happy to see you.
If love is blind, marriage is a real eye-opener.
Another one from Anonymous: Divorce, says Robin Williams, is a simple surgical procedure in which a man's testicles are extracted through his wallet.
divorce is like reefing the main in heavy weather...by the second time you think of it...it's probably too late!

married, but then it was too late"?

Marriage: When they tell you it's for better or worse, they make it sound like the odds are 50:50
Marriage is the only union that can't be organized, even though both parties think like management.
A SHORT FAIRY TALE
Once upon a prince asked a princess to marry him.
She said NO.
So he went sailing anytime he wanted and lived happily ever after!
First you buy a car, then a house, then you get married, then you buy a boat, then an airplane. Then you sell the airplane, sell the boat, get a divorce, sell the house, and sell your car.
The next time around you buy an airplane, then a boat, then a house, then a car.......
I used to think people continued to go ocean racing because they had short memories, now I realise it's because they are married and they are looking for longer races

Marriage is not a word, it's a sentence....
When I first started racing about 25 years ago my friend brought his wife. He is about 15 years older than me.
My comment was ‘Why did you bring a boat anchor to a boat race?’
His comment was ‘John, with wives, the better part of valor is keeping your mouth shut.
She has never raced since and I have been married for over 20 years. Good advice.
Men with pierced ears are good marriage candidates: they know pain and have purchased jewelry.
-Rhea Perlman
Marriage and Hurricanes are similar. First there is a lot of sucking and blowing......and then your house is gone.
Remember the boat in San Diego FUJIMO?
Spouses are like pancakes - sometimes, you have to throw the first one out.
The two worst years of marriage are the first year and the year you are in now.
As best told by my wife:
Never criticize a woman until you have walked a mile in her shoes. Because then you are a mile away. And you have her shoes.
