What Is your best recol lection of what went through your mind when you said "I do"? Those surveyed have been married from two to 41 years. An analysis of the question naires shows that Initial en chantment dims around the tenth year of married life. The original glow goes but isn't forgotten. It tends to re appear after the silver wed ding anniversary, growing more mellow with each sub sequent year. Some participants in the survey didn't wear wedding hands. It was necessary to ask, "are you married?" Their comments, as they spurned the questionnaire, Included: "No. Hut my wife Is." "1 wish I wasn't." Typical Typical recollections of the bridegrooms: , "Oh, heck, kept think ing. How am I going to get the cat out from under my feet." He said "I do" at home wed ding where even pets were In vited. "It'll be for a long, long time," recalled a husband of 22 years. "I don't think I had a chance to say 'I do' loud f nough for even me to hear It. She had the last and loudest word then and still has." "1 kept wondering If I'd get a ticket." said the bride groom of 20 years. "I was double-parked." "There, 1 did It and I'm glad," responded ( man mar I rl"d two years. "What am I letting my self In for?" answered an other. Was Happy "I thought of nothing at all," said a husband of IS years. "I was too happy to think happy about marry ing the girl I loved at thr time." "I Just wished my knees would stop knocking," said a veteran of 10 years.

I'm about to develop a serious case of seven years' hitch! -"I said the words and kept wondering: why didn't we get out of here quick. It was snowing and I was afraid we'd need a tow. I didn't have snow tires." Felt Trapped ' Some of the bridegrooms just felt trapped, putting it this way: Well, old boy, you can't get out of it now. You just said 'I do' and a promise Is a promise." Several admitted the mind went blotto. These men have absolutely no recollection of even saying the two words. Others wondered about the possibility of making a lis take, saying at ceremony's end: "Oh, well, now it's too late." One bridegroom said he never said "I do." The cere mony was In French. He didn't speak a word of French, his bride's native language. "I simply nodded," he re called, "and I remember that I was pretty groggy that day." Other comments: "I sure could use a drink." "What in the world am I do ing here!" "How In the world did I get Into this!" Sentimental The most sentimental recol lection came from a man mar ried 41 years. He said: "As I said '1 do,' I remem ber thinking thank God. I got what 1 wanted. Now I'm happy.' And what do women think when they say "I do?" A hus band of 15 years guessed it this way: "All women remember is the sound of a steel trap slam ming shut," he said. "Clink. That did it."
