Sorry for the delay, but I'm catching up on old Avodah posts...

I was once at a wedding of two divorcees in Chicago, and Rav Yehoshua 
Eichenstein (on Devon*) paskened that they should only have one day of 
sheva brachos.

I was under the impression that that was davka because they were both 
divorcees, and if only one of them was, they would have had three days, 
but I may be wrong.

* There are two Rav Yehoshua Eichensteins in Chicago, first cousins.  
They are distinguished by what street their shul is - Rav Eichenstein on 
Devon is (I believe) older than Rav Eicheinstein on Touhy.
