I totally disagree. A man as rich and as old as he is has no business pretending this his first marriage or that it’s a white one or that he is just starting out in life. As if he can’t afford some OXO ice cream scoop!
He dumped his wife after making her convert to Judaism (and change her name from Jane to Sarah) and is now considering converting to Christianity - his girlfriend’s supposed religion. As my friend Sidney used to say (and I can only paraphrase): something pulls freight trains.
Well, I don’t see anything wrong with a registry - it’s usually the bride who is behind all of that, and brides tend to rule the roost of weddings.
My problem would be with the extravagance as I’ve heard tell; and thoughtlessness as to how this particular list would appear.
