HONEY BACON, Kim Geale and Wendy Kennedy talk about how they feel about remarrying.
Honey Bacon, widow of former Premier Jim Bacon, says she has not ruled out re-marrying but thinks it's unlikely she would ever meet the perfect man again.
"I never thought I'd get married the first time," the 56-year-old says.
"I never thought that I wanted to -- or needed to -- get married.
"It wasn't until I met Jim that I realised I wanted to do it because I wanted to shout it from the rooftops."
Honey, who was married to Jim for 10 years before he succumbed to lung cancer, says she still loves her husband and can't imagine marrying someone else.
"I don't know whether I would ever feel that need again, but I'm sure it does happen to people," she says of re-marrying.
"It's about meeting the right person that you absolutely trust 100 per cent and want to share your life with.
"The chance of me meeting somebody is fairly remote... I wouldn't expect it. I am still in love with my husband."
Heart FM breakfast radio host Kim Geale is about to remarry fiance Andrew Napier after her 20-year-marriage to her first husband ended 12 months ago.
"My theory is just go for it," says Geale, who plans to wed in Hobart next January.
"Whether you get married or not the commitment is still there -- but if you get married you get the party to celebrate the attraction."
Geale, 42, says when her first relationship broke down she never imagined she would remarry, especially not so soon.
"I wondered how I'd ever meet anyone," says Geale, who has a 15-year-old son.
"I'm too old to go clubbing; I'm too young to hang out at parents without partners meetings and I didn't want to be the token single woman who got invited to barbecues because there was a guy there who was also single."
Her fiance, a school teacher, has been married before and has a 10-year-old daughter.
Hobart personality Wendy Kennedy says she would re-marry if she met the right man.
"If you'd asked me a few years ago I would have said that I didn't want to get married again," says the 48-year-old singleton who has a 19-year-old son.
"But now, because I've been single for quite a while, I actually quite like the concept of getting married again.
"I don't like the chances of it happening because I'm such a homebody and don't go out much.
"But I think as you get to middle age and mellow out you realise that it would be quite nice to have someone around."
