Just as each wedding creates potential business for divorce lawyers, so each engagement gives insurers a chance to drum up business. Future spouses, says Alan Tuvin of Travelers, an insurer, may wish to protect themselves against something going wrong on the wedding day. It is unlikely that your intended wife will leave on horseback, as Julia Roberts did in "Runaway Bride", and most insurers wouldn’ t cover that anyway. But you never know what might happen. Mr. Tuvin launched the firm’ s wedding-insurance business; he and his wife were its first clients.
A typical American wedding costs 25,000 or so. This has fallen a bit over the past quarter-century but still seems lavish given how tight American belts are these days. Weddings are pricey because the rich are more likely to marry than the poor, and the average age of newlyweds has gone up, so couples are more prosperous when they eventually tie the knot. High prices, and the fact that many venues require couples to take out liability insurance, feed demand for wedding insurance. A fifth of couples buy it, says the Wedding Report, a trade publication.
Wedding insurance began in Britain: Cornhill, an insurer, wrote its first policy in 1988. But there were few takers. The idea only took off once transplanted to America. In the early days, says Mr. Nuccio of Robert Nuccio of Wedsure, an surer, there were incidents of couples faking engagements to collect a payout. Since then, most policies have a clause that excludes "change of heart". Wedsure does insure against cold feet, but its policy will pay out only if the wedding is cancelled more than 12 months before it is due to take place, thereby guarding against fiances phoning the broker once the relationship is already on the rocks.
This does not mean policies are useless. Common causes of payouts include the venue or caterers going bust after having taken a big deposit. Extreme weather, a spouse being deployed by the armed forces and an absent priest can all trigger payouts. Most policies will pay to re-stage the photos if the photographer fails to turn up or disappears with the pictures.
For some, even a small risk of something going wrong on a day that has been planned for months is worth paying to avoid. Who says romance is dead?
Common causes of payouts exclude that_____.
选项
A、caterers go bankrupt
B、a spouse changes the heart
C、the priest is not present
D、the photographer vanishes
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干定位到第四段。本段讲保险支出的常见原因。此题适合用排除 法。A项“供应商破产”对应caterers going bust after having taken a big deposit,C项“牧师 不在场”对应an absent priest,D项“摄影师消失”对应if the photographer fails to turn up or disappears with the pictures。B项“一方新人变心”,本段只是说a spouse being deployed by the armed forces(一方新人被部队征召),且上一段提到Since then,most policies have a clause that excludes“change of heart”,因此B项为正确答案。
