At least its Vane, and not Vein or Vain... And yes, it should be a fun christmas... she's usually not got the best taste in men, or women for that matter.
Oh dear lord, Haha, i've never had THAT happen, but, when our oldest was about 17, we were, well otherwise engaged, and there is this LOUD thump on the wall, and she yells out "You know i can hear you right, i'll probably be scared for life, could you keep it DOWN a bit!" lol
[QUOTE=HuntSmacker;177533]Hm, kids should get their parents permission to marry first, especially if it's the parents forking out for the Wedding costs. :P[/QUOTE]
Or maybe everyone should decide for themselves who to marry and why. I sure as hell wouldn't have cared if my mother had been opposed to my choice, much less if the wife's parents had been. Actually, I think they were, at least a little, considering I'm not the standard obedient chinese sissyboy most parents here seem to want their daughters to marry. A few years after the wedding, I actually found out they had been disappointed that I didn't give them any money.

Heh if that had been me Curz, that would have earned them a nice two fingered salute from me!
On the other hand I've yet to meet a woman that I would even consider getting married to, so marriage isnt something I take very seriously, especially as the only good reasons to do so these days (in the UK anyway) seem to be for the tax benefits
I'm sure you wouldn't be saying the same thing if they had no money. Sure, in that situation you can still accept the marriage, but if your stuck for cash you aren't going to let them go ahead with it using your bankbook, are you? :P
Funny how this went from Coffee to a debate about Marriage. Does coffee always lead to marriage?
Funny story about my parents. When my mother got preggers with me they decided to get married.
According to mom they waited for an opening in a temple where a couple had decided not to get married. They we're married by a Rabbi. Now both of my parents are catholic. My dad will not confirm this story and my grandmother does not know.
But I do recall my mother yelling at my father "FUCK YOU, you Irish-Catholic-Jew!" at some point before the divorce.

It's kind of like that old game of Telephone, You whisper something into someoes ear, and they pass it around the circle, by the time you get to the end, the message is totally different....
