Good for him. Good for her. They were a mismatch and I'm sure there were considerable straws prior to that one, on both backs.
Ah, daughter's wedding. Princess's wedding, which carries a young lifetime's baggage of Disney movies, fairy tales, hopes, dreams and distorted reality.
I've known several men to lose perspective, sell their accumulation of dream toys, and/or take on a mortgage guaranteeing a postponed retirement, to blow on one day of overindulgence... praying the marriage will last more than seven years.
A guy at work offered to buy the couple a new car and pay a down payment on the house of their choice, if they would elope. She refused. Six months before he retired, Snowflake moved back in with two children.
