I had two friends that had daughters engaged. One offered the groom a check
(good) for $20,000 to elope. That would have made a fine down payment on a
really big fancy house in the best part of town in those days. A second
offered what he assures me was a much higher offer to the fiance of his
daughter a few years ago, and was also turned down. It was good in
especially the first case, as his wife would have killed him. A friend
usually attributes such feminine behavior to women who aspired to be on the
prom committee in high school but were not allowed. What do you think,
Candace?

Heh, the most expensive single item at *my* wedding will be either my beater
E3 or the 12-60ZD, which ever holds up in value better. I reckon the glass.
