When the Bosses That Be first asked
me to do a story for the wedding sup
plement, I was skeptical.
That's like asking Ma and Pa Walton
to do a seminar on birth controL Wrong
subject.
As a confirmed bachelor, my advice
to prospective husbands always has
been. "Don't do it."

I'd say, "Look, you're not gaining a
wife, you're losing any chsr.ee you ever
had to go out with the Solid Gold
Dancers."
To me, marriage meant goir.g to the
movies to watch the movie. It meant
bowlir.g once a week, watching TV
every niht and trips to vbit LIcthcr on
the weekends. And kids.
But a popular Lincoln bar actually
has made mtrrbe fun. That's right
fun. :
Every Monday night, P.O. Pears, 322
S. Ninth Ct, unites couples in their
long-running 24-Hour Marricge pro-
f
motion.
The key phrase here is "24 Hours."
This is a quickie, folks. No blood test,
no bridal registry, you're already at the
reception and, best of all, it's over in 24
hours.
Craig Kingsley, a manager at the bar
and restaurant, said the 24-hour mar
riage is "one of our promotional ideas.
It brings people in on Monday night."
Monday nights, as many of you stu
dents might imagine, aren't big busi
ness nights for bars. Kingsley said this
promotion gives the customers a good
impression of the bar.
"If people are having fun, they come
back," he said.
Every couple united in the little
chapel set up on the dance floor re
ceives a free bottle of champagne, $10
worth cf "walking around money" (a
kind cf Pears gLt certificate), a wed
ding portrait, a marrirge (and divorce)
certificate and, cf course, the rings. .
I decided the only way I really cculd
. tell you about this was to get married
myself t . for only 24 hours, cf course.
When I asked Cindy to marry me,
her first response was, "But what if the
kids look like you?"
