Cheryl Winter spent $500 for Hartford-based Travelers Cos. Inc. to cover her daughter’s $50,000 destination wedding last October in New Orleans, where her biggest concern was a potential hurricane. The weather co-operated, but the limousine never showed up. Her daughter took a taxi cab to the church, and they used the insurance policy to claim the deposit money they couldn’t get back from the limo driver.

My opinion:

My opinion:

That seems like a simple variation of travel insurance. I don't see a problem with it.

I was kind of hoping the article was about a guy who bought a $10,000,000 "Wife Gains Fifty Pounds After Marriage" insurance.

You'd be surprised at the things you can get covered. . So long as somebody's got a measurable, financial risk they want to mitigate, and somebody's got a policy to sell, it's all good.

Farmers insure against the weather, Academy Awards and other shows that are ad revenue dependent insure in case of some kind of "breaking news event," athletes insure their limbs, and even here in Japan, people buy "Hole in one" insurance, as it's custom to buy loads of gifts for friends if you get a hole-in-one.

There is not an insurance company in the world that could afford to offer a policy on what women will and will not do in a marriage.

Women already have divorce insurance. Men don't.
