I like apples.

[uglybiker]

I can think of worse ways to go.

[newfreep]

The newly weds may evolve into this Tom Waits gem:

Here comes the bride And there goes the groom
Looks like a hurricane Went thru this room
Smells like a poolhall Where's my other shoe
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Looks like you spent the nite in a trench
And tell me, How long have you been combing your hair with a wrench
Blue roses are dead And the violets are too
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Well, I've told you before I won't tell you again
You don't defrost the icebox With a ball point pen
This railroad apartment Is held together with glue
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Because I know I been swindled I never bargained for this
Once more you never cared about me
Why don't you get your own place So you can live like you do
And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

Take all your relatives And all of your shoes
Believe me I'll really swing When you're gone
I'll be living on chicken and wine
After we're thru
With someone I pick up after you

Besides, the age gap is much greater between Bruce and his new wife than between you and your husband.
____________________________________________________________

The lady you responded to said her hubby is 20 years older than her. Bruce Willis is 54, his new bride is 32. 22 years - not much greater than the case you were responding to!

[Moonman62]

Bruce it’s your MONEY she wants. Bruce you’re OLD. Silly boy ... .

Bruce knows. Bruce doesn't care.

[The Louiswu]

I bet she smells good.

[ottbmare]

I thought the age difference between the aforementioned poster and her husband was 15 years, not 20. In either case I was trying, in my clumsy way, to suggest that it was not her marriage I was discussing when I displayed skepticism about Willis’s marriage. I am not commenting on her marriage. I know nothing about it and would not presume to comment if I did know. I’m commenting on a different phenomenon altogether: the well-known tendency for rich, influential older guys to marry beautiful young ones and then act surprised when they wind up in divorce court a few years ago.

[leapfrog0202]

You’re right about the propensity for problems in an older guy / younger woman thing when the older guy is rich and influential.

The ones that freak me out are guys like Larry King and Tony Randall that have kids w/MUCH younger women and they’re in their late 60’s, early 70’s when the kids are born. To me that is totally unfair to their poor kids. I’d hate to be a young child and my dad is in his 70’s.

He is so much better looking without the goatee!!! I hope his new bride makes him lose it, pronto.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Bruce Willis marries Victoria's Secret model Emma Heming

Was the marriage ceremony done Heming way?

[Centurion2000]

bump

[a fool in paradise]

How much does Emma Heming weigh?

[grellis]

I think you're wrong about Willis, regardless. I don't much follow celeb lives, just what gets posted on FR for the most part, and the headlines at the checkout counter. I cannot think of one single woman that Willis has been linked to since he and Moore split. To me, that indicates that he has the sense enough to truly keep his private life private, or that he doesn't hit the swinging singles' scene like a rock star--like maybe he's looking for something more meaningful.

Maybe he just wants a good wellyouknowwinkwink. He's a fine looking man. He can get that anytime he wants. It must mean something that he attached a ring to it, right? What, are you looking forward to seeing a marriage go down in flames or something?

Like I said, my best to the happy couple. I hope they enjoy each other as much as me and my husband of eighteen years do.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Excellent work Bruce!

[Skooz]

Well done, Bruce.

Well done.

[Ramius]

Bruce it’s your MONEY she wants.

You say that like it matters in some way. :-)

[calex59]

Not guilty of anything, anytime, anywhere. Just goes to show you that no matter how old you are, and what you look like, if you have fame and money you can attract younger women!

[mountn man]

Here's one, Brooke Burns

No, just the opposite. I like to see marriages succeed until death ends them. I just notice that it's not usually the marriages between a much-younger woman or girl and a rich middle-aged or old guy that tend to last. There are exceptions, but usually healthy marriages are founded on a compatibility of character, values, temperament, experiences, background, goals, faith, and other intangibles that don't fill a bikini or a wallet.

Like I said, my best to the happy couple. I hope they enjoy each other as much as me and my husband of eighteen years do.

I agree. And I too hope they're really happy and have a delightful family together.
