When we got married in 1973, I could not afford an engagement ring. That was OK as my wife had already picked out the whole set. She just bought it herself.
A few days before the wedding we went shopping for a new car. I knew she had maybe a thousand in the bank but since she had just graduated college, I wondered how she would finance it.
It turned out her favorite Uncle was president of the bank.
LOL! Lucky Man ;-)
