When my mother was planning the various festivities around their 50th wedding anniversary, she worried a bit that she was making too big a deal about it, but justified herself by saying that it was probably the last big celebration of her lifetime, as she didn't expect my father to make it to their 60th. I said that in that case perhaps we'd find ourselves celebrating her next wedding. She said absolutely not, that one husband was enough. I teasingly asked if she wouldn't like a hot young thing like Jason, my then-fiance, with whom she was quite smitten. She absolutely floored me by responding "Well, sure...but I wouldn't have to marry him!"
