I'm counting three so far. I ask you, don't you think our friends could have had some consideration and conceived their children so they would get married at different times, when it was convenient to fit into our budget? Don't get me wrong. | am really happy for these couples who have decided to take their vows, and I wish them the best. I also admire them in this day and age for taking the plunge, when the divorce statistics are soar- ing. Are you with me in wondering what we could buy that would be meaningful for these two people who are about to embark on the most i step in their lives? Aside from the store-bought gift; a simple box comes to mind. It can be constructed out of paper, wood, or whatever else we choose 1 © Ifyou're like most people, you'll I look at this and think rape. | Against Our Will Is Against The Law.

When these two people have angry words for each other, which seems to be timed, I might add, the"minute all the excitement of the wedding is over, they can write it down on paper and throw it into the box.
