Saved from Spinsterhood

One of my project managers at work went to The Cook Islands and got married over the holidays. They had to go to the courthouse there and fill out an application for a marriage license. On the application, she had to mark the box for "Spinster" and her fiance had to mark the box for "Bachelor." There was no generic "Single." The whole time between getting the marriage license and getting married, her fiance kept bragging about saving her from spinsterhood. She was about ready to say screw getting married and go get her some cats.
