With just days left until the wedding, George’s sister told me that their mother still laid out George’s clothes every morning, including socks and underwear. We laughed until she said, “You think I’m kidding, don’t you?”
Wasn’t she?
Well, what if George was a beta male? Probably so was Beethoven! Not to mention Jesus. Besides, invitations were mailed and airline flights booked, friends and family soon heading our way. And the money! Thousands—non-refundable—spent on gowns, tuxedos, flowers, the hall, the band. Plus the presents! OMG! I’d have to rewrap them and send them back!
Easier to just get married.
What a fun read for a serious situation . I had never thought of how many marry because it seems like the path of least resistance.
Hello Karen,
Several years later, as a weary wife, George’ s little defect was probably a reasonable cause for considering a divorce.
Nice work!
He won’t know what’s hit him once she gets tough. Or maybe he’ll be relieved to escape mum. ..
Good story.
Cool story, Karen. Enjoyed it.
It makes me wonder how many people go ahead despite qualms. A good story.
So similar to my own story. I asked my bridesmaids “how easy is it to get a divorce?”
Enjoyed the read. Sadly, happens way too often.
I can so relate to this story! Cost analysis: less expensive to eat the cost of the plane tickets, tuxes, etc. than get a divorce 5 years down the road! Great story!
Sometimes you just carry forward! Right? Wrong? Love it!
Love it ?
Sorry – was meant to be: love it 🙂
Very nice… BTW- beta males can make good husbands (I’m speaking for experience now ?).
