...marriage ceremonies have been around for some 3,000 years in Judaism, which requires a get--a religious document that consecrates the divorce--before couples are allowed to remarry in a temple. Today the male-oriented ceremony (the husband asks for the get and gives it to his wife) is performed mainly for Conservative and Orthodox couples.

Janet Swanson, 55, a writer from Minneapolis, Minn., consecrated her divorce in her Congregational church with a minister and 10 of her closest friends--but not her husband of 21 years.

(Bono thinks the rest of U2 doesn't know he smokes; they know.) After 15 minutes, guitarist the Edge, who adopts a kind, paternalistic role toward his childhood...
