Thanks for the ping!

As somone who went through a bargain basement wedding, I can testify to the sheer idiocy of spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a show. I told the kids that since they've been engaged for two years and are totally committed to each other, get married at the courthouse, then renew your vows in Hawaii. This way my son in law gets a better tax rate and my girl gets insurance :)

Gabrielle, I've been trying to remember your exact screen name this evening. I've pinged all the ladies whose screen names I can remember to this post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/941206/posts?page=43#43

Basically it's a "hold my bible and watch me self destruct" alert.

This guy just insulted all us women on this site. Poor sucker :)

My "bride" had it firm in her mind that ours was to be a on-the-beach pagent. I shrugged my shoulders and went along with it (because men are supposed to shut up and go along with whatever the woman wants).

Well, in retrospect, I wish we put our efforts into the marriage and not the wedding. We didn't last a year. What a waste.
