The triumph of hope over paperwork, again.
means Marrying again after a previous marriage has ended through death or divorce.
from A straightforward build: the prefix 're-' (again, back) bolted onto 'marriage,' which itself traces through Old French 'mariage' back to Latin 'maritare,' to marry, rooted in 'maritus,' husband. No hidden drama in the word's roots — just Latin's plain acknowledgment that marrying is a thing one does, and 're-' quietly admitting that some people do it more than once.
