So, in a recent newsletter around the office a story on engagements appeared (inspired because an employee proposed to his g/f at the holiday party).'

Most of the stories were nice and romantic and then this one appeared:

"About two years ago, my soon-to-be ex-husband, went to jail and was soon on his way to prison. At the time, I was pregnant with my first daughter and scared at the fact of being alone.

He was so scared of losing me, he asked me to marry him during his AT&T collect call from county jail.

That October, we were married inside the <exluding county> County Jail; he in an orange jump suit and me eight months pregnant.

The judge and two guards were our witnesses."


Now, who in their right mind would publish this in a company newsletter for the entire company to read?!?!?!?!

She did.....<sigh> I hate to say it - but she looks exactly like someone you would expect to tell this story as well.

That cannot be real... I mean it could, but that is like something you'd see SNL or MadTV make fun of on a skit.
I am sure it happens quite a bit actually. Why someone would publish is (short of a funny story) is beyond me.

You never know what people considers 'normal'...

One time during a wedding shower for another coworker, a lady at work told me she gave her husband a 'surprise wedding'... She said she called his work to get him the day off, called all his buddies and family etc... When the husband woke up that day, she just went 'Guess what honey, we're getting married today'.

I would expect to hear the following soon at the man's work:

"One time during a nasty spat at work with another co-worker, a man at work told me he gave his wife a 'surprise divorce'... He called her work to get him the day off, called all the lawyers and judges, etc... When the wife woke up that next day, he just went 'Guess what honey, YOUR BECOMING SINGLE TODAY!"

Totally, and the lady talks about it like everyone does it, and its perfectly normal too...

After that, we all know who wears the pants in that relationship...
