According to a documentary I watched, the average wedding costs $27,000.
Wolfie,
My sister's nuptials were far in excess of that, according to my dad. After the festivities were over and the "wedly-news" had departed on their h'moon cruise (also funded by the parental units, but at least jointly with the groom's parents,) Dad turned to me and said "Couldn't you become a lesbian or something? Another one of these will bankrupt me UNLESS you wait until you're fifty to get hitched!"
I began to weep, prettily, of course (method acting, also of course.) Dad got all upset and blurted "I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!"
Nowadays, I get the "So, when will we need to start planning YOUR wedding, Yolanda?" from both of them on a regular basis. If I'm feeling a bit impish I reply "Well, you told me to become a lesbian and...." That freaks 'em!
Frankly, Uncle W, I rather doubt that I'll ever become a bride, unless a change in the law and public perception allows me to marry BOTH BigGuy and WOBG. Of course, she and I might wear him out in record time.
Living and loving with Miss Ash(leigh) is something akin to married life but with a definitely wider set of boundaries, given the fun 'n games with BG (+WOBG, his lovely lady), Barry T. Eunuch, and some other select ladies. If Dad knew for certain (he suspects, I'm sure,) that I am, though not a lesbian, exercising my three options in the area of sexual partners (one man, one eunuch, a few ladies,) he'd have a coronary, somehow blaming it all on the that joking comment he made a few years ago.
Kids? I love them and my sister's offspring provide all I need by way of THAT experience. Why have stretch marks on MY pretty tummy?
That's your Yoli...always the practical one!
Did I mention that I love and pray for you? Well, I do!
Yoli
