Right? Like let's not start off this wedding anticipating a big FAIL. I can understand why people want to wait (I have 2 sorority sisters that did that, and friends of the family just had one after being married for 10 yrs) and have a big wedding later, but let that be a mutual decision--I can wait for the first year, but not for 5!

I guess I should have expected that LB's first marriage (yep he was married before, but no kids supposedly) lasted only 4 years. Maybe he kicks 'em to the curb before they get that big 5 year wedding.
