Marriage
Finally after three children my daughter and her partner are getting married on July 4, American Independence Day.
As father of the bride I will have to dig deep, beans on toast for the next few years.

Re: Marriage
Congratulations Louis. Beans on toast? I'd snatch your hand off for that luxury! After paying for my three daughter's weddings I am now reduced to hard tack and knocking weevils from the biscuits- my bank account is as empty as a state pensioners fridge!

Louis and John re. #5
You could tell them "If two old ferts could tie the knot "Over the Anvil" in Gretna Green, they could too.
A honeymoon in Scotland is fantastic, it rains all the time, so the best place to stay is in bed, that should clinch the deal. Do I get 10% of the money you save?
