LOL 1st choice: See the Braves if still in the playoffs. 2nd: See Michael Jordan play before he retires again. 3rd: Go to a Nascar Race. ( Keep in mind my wife is a dainty little ballet dancer ) We went to the Atlanta race when it was still the next to last of season. Everyone sitting around us found out we were honeymooning and we had free beer the whole race!

Now if I had a good PS check then, heck, I might've gotten good pit passes. HA

We had a "surprise" wedding. Invited @ 85 people to a pool party at her parents place. Beer, BBQ and boiled shrimp. Told the entourage we had an announcement, we were getting married. They asked when? The preacher emerged and said "right now"
No pressure, no gifts, no stress. Total cost? @ $2500.
That was June of 1991, 2 days after my 727 FE ride. Still happily married.

Perfect! Maybe we can start the perfect wedding ( by perfect I mean cost efficient) thread for those of us with daughters.

I have 3 friends that paid for those kits and all 3 are divorced now. One of the girls that got one of those kits now has a 28 year old boy toy.

I always figured if I bought some woman a pair of boltons.......I would have her sign a "visitation" contract.

But, no matter what, I would still require a minimum of 5 years "visitation rights" with them babies!
