In the fanfic literature, examples of delmarriages are found in Chapter 116 of The Red Stallion ("Another Kind of Love"); Chapter 9 of A Love Born From Steel (the crafts fair); and Human Interest. Jack and Ennis of ALBFS had a second delmarriage 30 years after their first in Chapter 14 (Eternal Knot) of Through The Veil Of Time.
In real life, my husband and I had a delmarriage two months before our church wedding.

quite distinguished company, I must say. I am inevitably reminded of my days in the Church of the Subgenius, where one of their sacraments was the ShorDurMar (Short Duration Marriage), a marriage lasting for longer than 90 minutes and usually less than two weeks, designed for the purpose of making the church appear family oriented. That was completely off-topic, I know, but something about "Delmarriage" reminded me of the ShorDurMar. Now that I think of it: Britney Spears had a ShorDurMar too didn't she?

Perhaps we could add mountain troll to the Laramie Lexicon. The following definition comes courtesy of the Bestiary section of the Harry Potter Lexicon.
Mountain troll - The mountain troll is very stupid. It stands twelve feet tall, with grey skin, a lumpy body, and flat horny feet. It exudes a powerfully awful smell, "a mixture of old socks and the kind of public toilet no one seems to clean." Its nose is full of what looks like lumpy, gray glue: troll boogers. Their language consists of grunting and pointing.
