"Everything Old is New Again"

No, the title does not refer to aging people having reconstructive surgery, as much as it has a certain flair in describing Joan Rivers.  Instead, I am referring to Marie Osmonds's remarriage to Stephen Craig Wednesday, wearing the same dress she wore in 1982.  Her dramatic weight loss a few years ago, her appearance on Dancing with the Stars. and the demands of a show in Vegas worked the magic allowing her to don the same dress in her walk down the aisle.  Her husband can not boast the same slim figure he had in 1982,  and he did switch from a while to a black tux, but one has only to see Marie's smile as they wed to know she doesn't give a hoot about that. 

Although rumors about a remarriage abounded in the tabloids, the couple successfully kept the wedding a secret--so much so, that some of Marie's family members couldn't make arrangements in time to attend the event.  I confess that I had no idea she was even dating her ex, but I hope they have a happy life together.  Marie has experienced enough tragedy recently with an ugly divorce from her second husband and her son Michael's suicide last year.  Love is supposed to be lovelier the second time around, and I guess we can count this as the second time, minus the interruption of another man marrying her in the intervening 26 years from the year they divorced.  What do you think, readers?  Does this give us hope for more fairy tale endings in our own lives?
