    I guess they don’t include the vow: Until death do us part.

    How is sans forgetica easy to remember? (There is a Latter-day Saint temple in Paris. So one thing that happens there is not only marriages, but also marriages for the deceased… as in for spouses who’ve already passed on. Those marriages — for both living and deceased — last eternally; no “until death do us part” vow. Don’t know how many of THOSE happen yearly though.)

    There was a woman who was assassinated. Three years later, when her husband became king, her body was exhumed, and she was crowned queen.

    So does this mean Elvis will remarry?

    Take care and may God bless.

    No ribbit from frogs around here. Just a sort of “frog.” They seem to say what they are.

    That font is hard to forget, because you have to spend 3 times more time to figure out what the hell it says.

    With a confusing font, one must study the message rather than just scanning it, thus making it more memorable.

    I assume that things typed in that font are easier to remember has to do with the fact you need to concentrate to read it.

    No, they just change it from “ I Do “ to “ I Did “

    This way a woman can’t complain about her husband being a dead beat husband.

    Take care and God loves you.

    Consummating the marriage is pretty difficult.

    I vaguely recall, and don’t plan on researching it, that posthumous marriages are used in cases where the bride is pregnant and wants the child to be legitimate, or where one or the other died just before the wedding, and some legality (a will, maybe?) needs the survivor to be considered the legal spouse.

    Sounds like the basis for some kind of mystery novel.

    Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” is a favorite at receptions…
