Hello brother! I’ve married 4 couples…but I’ve got one divorce. .750 isn’t too bad of a batting average.
Did you get the rear view mirror - clergy hang-tag for visiting hospitals?
Not only that, but after Cobain died, Courtney wanted to assign Michael Stipe to be Frances’ legal guardian and raise her in the event of her own death, and Michael declined because he was afraid that she too would commit suicide.
I had a pen pal at the time, through a music zine we both wrote for, and told her (and she agreed) that if he were to acquire a toddler that wasn’t his, he would be calling his parents all the time to ask, “So, what do I do?” She added that he would probably be a better male role model for Frances than Kurt ever would have been, and that he would likely be a better parent than Courtney, although that wouldn’t be a very high bar.
I knew Frances had been briefly married before, but not that it ended that dramatically. Wow.
That’s correct, and Peter’s future (now ex-) wife was 7 months pregnant with twins when Kurt offed himself. They were still able to keep all of this under wraps until R.E.M. released their album “Monster” a few months later. Good for them.
Maybe for the rest of you. But here in western NY it’s all about Hailee and Josh.
As for Drew Barrymore, mining the depths of my memory bank unearthed a National Enquirer story where Barrymore and another gender fluid actress whose name escapes me right now wanted to have a baby, and wanted JMS to father their child. That was the only time I ever heard about anything like that.
…The writer of Babylon 5?
Random joke: when the groom’s father showed at the wedding, none of the guests knew who he was.
Heh. It was a marriage of convenience/necessity and the groom got worked up during rehearsal/discussion just prior to the ceremony and nearly expired. They were a seeet couple who’d been together since each of their spouses died.
I proudly had one hanging until someone (I think I know who) nicked it. I also had a clergy press pass of some sort. The Universal Life Church was one of the first fun things I did when the internets was young.
Long before Them Thar Interwebs (late 60s, I think), I mailed five bucks to the Universal Life Church for my ordination. I had to agree with their doctrine:
Do that which is right.
Two out of the three marriages that I officiated are still intact.
