We don’t laugh any more; we used to always be laughing!” With contemptuous expression and voice, she retorted, “Yes, but not at the same time.” This one line from a classic moment of the British sitcom Fawlty Towers illuminated Basil and Sybil Fawlty’s entire relationship. Is a happy, long-lasting marriage really still possible? Well, I suppose we’ll find out in fifty years. Of course, if you’re being abused and bullied, your spouse has defaulted on ‘the deal’ (remember ‘to love and to cherish’?); no one should stay in an abusive marriage. But our ‘throw away society’ sometimes causes p...

Slate’s Daniel Engber argues that telling guests not to bring an escort is bad practice, ruining the fun for guests and defeating the purpose of a good wedding. So what does he suggest to keep the price of the party affordable for bride and groom? Selling tickets to your wedding.

Marie Claire reported that some bridal shops actually sell bridal diapers so the bride doesn’t have to be bothered to even try to pee while wearing her wedding gown. This ranks pretty high on our list of truly disgusting things. First of all, you’re going to smell like piss (we hope not #2!) during your first dance as husband and wife. Brides are supposed to smell like butterflies and daffodils, or at least some kind of fresh scent. And when exactly would be a good time to wet your pants – during your wedding vows or the chicken dance?...
