Can Good Bye Mean A Second Chance? 

Sixty-three years ago Trevor and Icella Blaker married. Thirty-five years ago Trevor and Icella Blaker called it quits. Their marriage wasn't working and they untied the knot. Today, they're giving it another go.

 

The couple grew back together after a series of handwritten letters back and forth reminded each other why they married in the first place, so last weekend the couple returned to the alter.

 

The cerimony was small, and one great grandchild walked Icella, 85 down the aisle.  After the wedding, the couple returned to an Oakland Australia Healthcare apartment.

wonder if cheating was involved? With this older couple, ok, good for them. Me? Hell no. My stbx told me that he wouldn't  marry me again but that if it didn't work out with him and the new girlfriend, we could get together and do things. Translation, we could have sex. I looked at him and like he had lost his mind. I told him that if he didn't care enough to work on the marriage, if I wanted sex bad enough, I would make new mistakes with someone new. I wasn't going to keep making the same ones...

My brother married at 19, had a kid, divorced at 26, remarried same woman at 30, had 2 more kids....and has now been married to her for another 22 years...so 29 years in all!

Strange thing is...the family was happy when he got divorced and not very happy when he married her again! 

I really can't fathom why someone would want to get married again at 85....esp when they divorced so many years before!

My mom tried twice with the same man.  It didn't work either time, so who knows.  With this couple, I think it's cute.  I think it says so much for how sometimes the things that drive us apart are silly.  I like how they realized that and also found that what they had was something special.  So often people just move apart on pride and never come back for the same reason, and they forget that there were things between them that DID work. Maybe not for marriage, but at least as friends.

I know a couple who married and subsequently divorced.  Then 7 years after they divorced they got remarried.  The first marriage only lasted 3 years.  The second has lasted 20.  Go figure
