I love my parents
 

They just gave the fiancee' and me a check for $5000 to help with the wedding costs for Christmas. And that amount doesn't even include what they're giving us for the honeymoon...

Mom, Pops...I love y'all! :)

Need a brother?

need a $5000 internet escort for your fiancee?

They just bought your silence.... More later.

Very cool, Jeeber!

Elope and use it as a downpayment for a house.

LOL.

you have much nicer parents than my kids do. :)

And here I thought I was cool when my mom gave me $200 to go to the Alamo Bowl next week...

what she said.

Bah...don't listen to the elopers. Have the time of your life.

i love your parents too, now what do i get?

A ham sandwich?

sold! beggers can't be choosers. Jeebs let me know when you're ready for me to give you my address so your parents can send me a ham sandwich. i like mustard, btw.

Jeebs, make this happen!!! He loves them.

Ignore him...I always do :)

I always thought parents were *supposed* to pay for weddings. Sounds like they're getting off easy.

I think technically, the wife's parents are supposed to pay. At least, if you go by tradition.


Edit: Of course, in some cases that is impossible. For example, Mrs. Eaglesfan's parents couldn't afford to pay for our very small wedding so my family helped pay for most of it.

I payed for the gas to the Judge's chamber. And a few years later I even got a wedding ring. No parents help needed and it was easy as pie. :D

cancel the wedding and pocket the 5 g's

That is pretty much my feeling on it.
