[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 118327, member: 4085"] This whole thread reminds me of a comic strip in 'MAD' magazine 30-35 years ago. Here's the scene: dad discovers daughter and boyfriend descending the ladder as they elope. He takes them aside and (clearly) says not to run away, he will put on a wedding for them. They get into the planning and as he realises just how money he is up for. The final panel of the comic shows a dejected father coming up to the happy couple carrying the ladder!!! Whoever drew it was a genius he told this whole story in just 4 or 5 panels with no text at all. I have often been reminded of it when I have attended the many weddings Marg and I go to, she has told you some of the stories. With easy child 2/difficult child 2 now engaged I am in the position of that father! We have alraedy talked a little. We are determined that our daughters' weddings will be ones they can enjoy. The heck with whether we are doing the 'right' thing. Marg's Man PS I think it was Don Martin, Marg thinks it was Sergio Aragones. Anyone else remember it? [/QUOTE]
