- WAITING TO MARRY: WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS

Reading this week's installment of the New York Times Sunday Style Modern
Love series, I felt as if I had commissioned the piece - like I'd said, "OK,
please write a piece that illustrates the points John Van Epp made in his
Waiting to Marry keynote in San Francisco one that makes clear what he meant
by his Marital Horizon and What-Happens-In-Vegas concepts."  Kerry Cohen hit
the nail on the head.  - diane

someone would finally love me and then leave. I was still virginal in this
way when it came to breakups......for the full article:
