Congrats! Is the wedding going to be Hindu or Catholic? How is your sweetheart grandaughter?

Hey there!

The wedding is at City Hall in Los Angeles. They've been engaged for 2 years, known each other (as friends) for 4 years. Since they moved out here from Connecticut, they've been hit financially hard, so when he got hit with the mother of all state tax bills they decided to forgo the big wedding in Hawaii and just make it legal. I told them they can renew their vows, or have the marriage blessed later on. We're driving out first thing tomorrow to pick up the grandbaby and her mother tomorrow. Baby is doing great :)

That is a wise choice even in good times. Always better to spend money wisely than waste it on day kissing a bunch of people you don't know. LOL Weddings seem like such a tragic waste of money and just add to the financial stress of marriage when a couple is starting out. That is easy for me to say though since they didn't have dreamy magazines of white weddings where I grew up. I just never saw the point. Romance comes in many different formats. :)

Enjoy what is the treasure... them uniting amongst close friends and family.
