Boomarang

People who drive me crazy, part 14: People who get married, and then divorced, and then they remarry that same person again.

What the heck are you thinking, double-offender? Its like going to the thrift store and buying a pair of shoes, only to bring them home and realize that you were the person that donated those shoes to the thrift store in the first place. Because they gave you blisters. Except in your case, you knew the whole time that you were repurchasing ill-fitting goods.

I don't even know what the logic is there. You get divorced, look around and you see nobody, nobody at all, that you'd rather be with than the person you just divorced. Maybe you should just be alone, because obviously you're not good at marriage, or decision making.

And how does that wedding go? Who there is taking you seriously? You're going to have and hold, for as long as you both can handle it this time. Are guests expected to bring gifts, or do the gifts they gave the first time carry over? Does the bride get to wear white? Is it tacky to include the phrase "third times a charm" in the best man's toast??

And finally, if these two people shall ever divorce again, I suggest they both have their marriage licenses revoked-- for good. Marriage is, after all, a privilege.
