the show. Enjoy. One morning, attorney David Latt was sitting in his apartment in d C flipping through the Sunday New York Times when he arrived at his favorite part of the paper. I have to confess I am a devoted reader of the New York Times wedding announcements. Latt loves the wedding section, even though the vast majority of couples are total strangers to him. They are looking for people with impressive pedigrees. They are looking for people who
are photogenic. But on that morning he spotted a pair of familiar faces. They were both a very impressive, accomplished young lawyers. There are a very nice looking couple. So if anyone was going to make it into those pages, it was going to be Dan and Wendy. Latt began to read. Wendy Jill Adelson, the daughter of Donna Sue Adelson and Dr Harvey J. Adelson of Coral Springs, Florida, is to be married this evening to Dan Eric Marquel, the son of Ruth Marquel and Phil Marquel of Toronto.
The bride twenty x is keeping her name. I think it was the best wedding I've ever been to. Every Kohler's was a high school buddy of Dan's. He made the trip to Boca Raton for the celebration, as did hundreds of other friends and family members. The weather perfect, the venue extravagant, and at the center of all of it the happy couple Dan and Wendy danced for hours with their guests. It just felt like it was overflowing with with joy and love. I mean that sounds so.
I actually found an email I sent to Dan on March four of two thousand six. Hi, Dan, congratulations and best wishes to you and Wendy. I'm sitting at home reading the Sunday Times and lo and behold there you are best Dave. And it's funny. Dan actually responded, because Dan was a very diligent email responder, even though he was on his honeymoon. Greetings from Club med, he wrote. And then I responded, checking email in your honeymoon. You truly are a cyber addict. I thought I was bad.
Don't respond to this email. I hope you're having a wonderful time. So what makes a good marriage anyway? I guess I would say that crucial to a good marriage is mutual respect, love, of course, but also respect. But as you can probably guess, this isn't a story about the happy ever afters, the lucky ones, the couples who grow more inseparable with age, not even close. I have to be a little circumspect here because over the years I've become very familiar with the liable laws of the
United States. So um, I'm I don't I don't think I'm gonna give my personal view here. It's a story about the opposite, a bad marriage, a worse breakup, a brutal divorce. And he stormed out, and did he say something like I told you you should never be marrying her. This is probably the biggest story I'll ever work on. It's probably the biggest story in Dallassee ever I would say. And everything that came after somebody I stucken knows something because she would have not came out unless she paid
someone else. But there's no thing I have never said to anyone. And my mom is a dangerous person. Or are you saying that you think maybe one of your friends would have done some baby or guilty? You've got his sins on your hand, baby crazy, I'm never touched them from wondering. I'm Matthew Sharon and this is more were my dead body. I've been a magazine writer for about a decade now. During that time, I've written some crazy stories. I've written about an orthodox rabbi who tortures
husbands and do granting divorces to their wives. And I've written about some colorful characters too, like Stormy Daniel's attorney Michael Abanati, but I can say that this particular case is the single craziest story I've ever reported on. It says at least as much about marriage and love as it does about revenge and justice. And the lengths will go to to get even to listen to this story.
