My Daughter's Wedding

My oldest daughter is getting married at the end of the month. I had a tux but around here big band gigs are hard to come by so I haven't worn it in a while. I had to go buy a  cummerbund and tie that HAD to be candy apple red. I also needed to get 2 new dress shoes. One for each foot. I also have to mail it to her in advance so she can inspect it for approval.  Then it will be cleaned etc. I had no idea weddings cost this much. In my day here in the south we just went to the courthouse after her dad reloaded the shotgun. I have to fly to New Jersey for this wedding. After that I need to begin waiter training so this tux doesn't go to waste!

Go rent "Father of the Bride" and make sure the whole family watches it, maybe it'll garner a little sympathy for you. I watched that around the time I was marrying off my daughters. I was 2/3 of the way through that movie before I realized it was supposed to be a comedy, not a Frontline exposé.

Kind of the equivalent to buying "The Money Pit" before deciding to get that "fixer-upper" house!
