Isn't that the sad truth?

It's wonderful to see young people with their heads on straight. My son
was in a wedding party last summer of an old friend who is a young,
$ucce$$ful doctor. The wedding, on a yacht in S.F. Bay, cost way more
than the down payment on an overpriced California house. She wanted the
wedding, he wanted a house. She won. She is now pregnant and I suspect
she will now insist on the house they can't afford right away because he
is still paying for the wedding. Is this how divorces are made?
