Pah. Marriage sucks (excluding my own impending nuptuals due in 2019, which will feature pajamas and Elvis). It's all about religion and the transfer of property. What we need is a new way for couples to show their commitment and get lots of presents at the same time.

Therefore I would suggest that a couple who love each other should get together, do some planning, and rob a bank. Since (owing to the way the robbery will be carried out) one of them cannot be implicated without the other also taking blame and going to jail, they will have a common bond for the rest of their lives. And they will have lots of money to buy themselves neat stuff or curtains.

(NB: Of course, a simpler test would revolve around the ability to spell and use the words fiance/fiancee correctly.)

One of my favo(u)rite movies is "Raising Arizona":

HI: What's the matter, Ed?
ED: My fai-ants left me.
VO: She said her fiance had run off with a student cosmetologist who knew how to ply her feminine wiles.
FLASH
On Hi's profile. He turns back to ED.
HI: That sumbitch.
