Malzahn Forgets Most Important ‘I Do’

Recently reelected Kootenai County Treasurer Tom Malzahn (shown above getting sworn in) was corrected by his wife after taking the oath of office this morning. Malzahn said "I do," when asked by Judge John Mitchell if he would uphold the constitution and perform the duties of the office. "This is the fourth time I've said 'I do,' " he told the crowd. "It's five, honey," shouted his wife, Cathy, reminding Malzahn that he also pledged "I do" during their marriage ceremony. Debbie Wilkey, the new coroner, also drew a laugh from the crowd when she said: "It's never really good to say as a coroner, 'I'm looking forward to meeting all of you...' "

Question: How many times have you said 'I do'?
