NEW YORK (ITU-Here's help
for the bridegrooms of tomorrow
who wonder what thoughts will zig
and zag through the cranium
when they utter "I do."
Kor what's likely to capture
their thoughts during that mo
ment when bachelorhood is aban
doned, United Press International
asked bridegrooms of yesteryear
two questions:
How long have you been mar
ried? What is your best recollection
of what went through your mind
when you said "I do?"
Those surveyed have been mar
ried from two to 41 years. An
analysis of the questionnaires
shows that initial enchantment
dims around the tenth year of
married life.
Original Glow Reappears
The original glow goes but isn't
forgotten. It tends to reappear
after the silver wedding anniver
sary, growing more mellow with
each subsequent year.
Some participants in the survey
didn't wear wedding bands. It was
necessary to ask, "are you mar
ried?" Their comments, as they
spurned the questionnaire, includ
ed:
"No. But my wife is."
"I wish I wasn't."
Typical recollections of I h e
bridegrooms:
-"Oh, heck. I kept thinking.
How am I going to get the cat
out from under my feet." He
said "I do" at a home wedding
where even pets 'were invited.
First and Last
"I don't think I had a chance
to say 'I do' loud enough for even
me to hear it. She had the last
and loudest word then and slill
has."
"I kept wondering if I'd get
a ticket," said a bridegroom of
JO years. "I was double-parked."
"What am I letting myself in
for?" answered another.
"I thought of nothing at all."
said a husband of 15 years. "I was
too happy to think happy about
marrying the girl I loved at the
time."
"I just wished my knees would
stop knocking," said a veteran of
10 years.
Some 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 T 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 dos-
sibility of making a mistake, sav
ing at the ceremony's end: "Oh.
well, now it's too late."
The most sentimental recollec
tion came from a man married
41 years. He said:
As I said 'I do.' I rempmlw
thinking-thank God. I got what
wanted. Now I'm happy."
And what do women think when
they say "I do?" A husband of
13 years guessed it this way:
ah women remember is thft
sound of a sleel trap slamming
hut," he said. "Clink. That did
it."

Swedes Try
Driving Plan
L.JUXGBYHED. Sweden lUPD
The small Swedish sedan turn
ed left and into a "fatal" acci
dent but all that happened was
a squeal of brakes and the voice
of a policeman over the loud
speaker telling its driver he had
jofed.
The near-accident and guiding
voice are found every weekend
here as Swedish drivers practice
switching their driving habits
from the left to the rinlit side of
the road in a huge, mock village
driving school.
! Swedes have driven vehicles on
the left for almost 200 years. But
they have decided to join the rest
of the continent on the right.
Local motoring clubs and
the Maimo Newspaper Kvailspos
ten set up the mock village to
make the switch as smoothly as
possible.
The village, jammed every
weekend with hundreds of pri
vate cars, resembles Times
Square or Piccadilly at the ruh
hour, only bigger, with hundreds
of signs and lights guiding the
!wrr;od drivers on their tinfamil
lar way.
Ail lelt s.tic dining is forbid
den. Tlw .-peed is hold to a maxi
mum of 23 miles an hour.
Police, working from a central
control timer, broadcast advice
compliments and an occasional
scolding correction to a failing
driver.
Although the Suedes Kivc driv
en on tin- loft (or .-o lung. The
cars have stirring ulierls set (. r
lie new right lane driving
stirring on tw lo!t as m thp
United States or Europe.
