During the wedding ceremony, when the minister/preacher/priest comes to the part about, “If anyone has any reason why these two people should not marry, speak up now or forever hold your peace…” have a 4-to-6 year old boy run up the aisle yelling, “Daddy, daddy.” I understand from a friend who played this joke on a relative that it took almost an hour to get the wedding started again.
This couple were married for 67 years. The husband was asked; if in all those years had they ever thought of divorce. “Heavens no” he replied. Murder yes, but never divorce.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

I am dense. I didn't get this joke until I read Barb's comment. LOL
Barb is quick on her feet. 🙂
LOL, We have a wedding to go to next weekend and now I'm wondering who's got a 4-6 year old that I can borrow for the day.
You'd do that too wouldn't you. 🙂
"murder yes, but not divorce" – the funniest line on the page.
Yep, I've been there and done that. 🙂
I like he murder line too. Made me laugh out loud. Sandee, you and Zane and Little Bit have a great day.
Yep and anyone that has been married has thought about murder. 🙂
LOL quick and too the point loved the Murder yes, but never divorce said in a matter of fact way hahah!
Have a murderlesstastic day Sandee g-)
Murder is less messy. Bwahahahahaha. 🙂
LOL! Love this, Sandee! 🙂
Thanks Linda. 🙂
Hahah, yep I second the whole murder and divorce convo ;0 Marriage is hard, frustrating, wonderful and in my view forever, so I think I will forgo the whole murder thing…
We both have great mates and that make all the difference in the world. 🙂
A wedding is a simultaneous funeral for two people.
This is often the case. Been there and done that. I got it right now. 🙂
Believe me, I know. We just celebrated our 33rd anniversary… it's been the Lockhorns for a long time.
Then you know. Yes you do. Happy 33rd. 🙂
Yup. Sounds about right!
Yep, for many this is spot on. 🙂
The last joke, unfortunately, is true for too many married people.
Unfortunately you're right. 🙂
I'm guilty of eavesdropping on conversations. People-watching is a crucial part of being a writer!
I would think people watching is most helpful to an author. 🙂
"Yes Dear"
You and my husband are on the same page. 🙂
great post! Love this! Have a wonderful day with your Zane and LB!
Thanks honey. We've had a great weekend so far. All done with my work and we'll boat back to our marina later today. 🙂
Heeheehee! Very funny stuff!

The bliss of married life.
Some have bliss and some not so much. 🙂
