Just can't afford it right now. The wedding is dipping heavily into my funds.

isnt' the womans parents supposed to pay for the wedding? i remember growing up and hearing about a groom clause. it went something like this.

The groom while able to pay for the wedding was not expected to pay for it. It is expected that the groom buy all of his parts that make him the fastest man on the road before getting married. The parents of the bride assume all responsiblity of paying for the wedding for they are about to dump a very expensive live person off on the unsuspecting groom for which he will have to pay for her for the rest of his life. Therefore, the groom may do with his money what he wishes before the marriage.


it's true. i read that somewhere.

yep, but i think we're going to have our hands full with that 6spd RST w. shorties and a Superchips. once he gets his e-fans on he'll be pushing like 500 to the wheels
