One more comment about weddings, here where my mom is never going to see it, as opposed to on your facebook page with public settings.....I found out a year after I'd kicked out the live-in boyfriend that my mom had bought a "mother of the bride" dress, fully expecting an announcement in the opposite direction. She loooooves weddings. Her offspring are a huge source of disappointment: I never had so much as a fiance, and my brother got married at city hall when they were expecting their second child, only so my sister-in-law could get on his health insurance plan. (Tangential comment about the second child. My sister-in-law told me, "Your family is upset our son was never baptized, mine is upset he didn't have a bris.")
Marjie, that was FABULOUS! I snort-laughed (how attractive) reading it because it's all so true and comical. You have this great writing style making the reader visualize every line! Keep it up!!!!

My first reaction after reading this was "I cannot believe anyone would actually do that!" Then I reminded myself, "Of course. Only Margie."
This was very funny.
Great move. Your only mistake was overdoing it, otherwise it may have worked out. In Japan they only give money. Bummer.
Great story! Just when I thought you were going over the top with curmudgeonly-ness, you cracked me up!
Funny piece
What a hilarious (an hilarious?) story! Love it.
No Marjie - did you REALLY do that?
