Rod Stewart Marries a Third Time

Either not learning enough from his previous mistakes, or having figured out why he was unable to stay married the first two times, Rod Stewart has married a third time.

British rock star Rod Stewart married Penny Lancaster on Saturday in a
low-key ceremony on Italy's Ligurian coast.


Stewart, 62, and Lancaster, 36, have been together since the break-up of Stewart's second marriage in 1998 and tied the knot in a civil ceremony in a villa with only Lancaster's parents as witnesses.

So he's been with this woman for nine years? Why get married now? You mean to tell me he did play the field at all after his last marriage? Or does he play the field, married or not? I don't know, because I don't read the tabloids.

After the wedding the couple walked from the villa to a nearby restaurant to
see their 19-month-old son, Alastair.


Uh-oh. They did things out of order? But wait a minute... the bride wore white. I'm confused.

From there they strolled on to the harbor where they posed for photographs in a small boat before sailing to Stewart's luxury yacht "The Lady Ann Magee."

The 50-metre (164-foot) yacht is listed on the internet for rent at 170,000 euros ($226,000) a week.

Yeah, uhm, Rod - about that yacht, and other stuff like that. You were smart enough to get a pre-nup, right? I mean, you don't have a very good track record when it comes to marriage, meaning you have either picked the wrong women, have not treated them right, or both. It wouldn't be any of my business, but marriage is a public thing, and something I value, and I hate to see it devalued. And I hate to see guys lose stuff for which they've worked hard because of divorce.

I don't hold out much hope for third marriages, unless the person who has been twice divorced has gone through a lot of personal growth/therapy that makes them better choosers and spouses than they were the previous two times.
