I guess this goes to show that they should have just gone to the JOP, since they obviously already had a kid. She claims she wanted this wedding “since she was a little girl” and that she deserved to have her dream wedding. Did her dream wedding include already having a kid? Their marriage is/was a JOKE!!!Disgustednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-81604275914491001152008-06-30T12:39:00.000-04:002008-06-30T12:39:00.000-04:00That's exactly what is wrong with this country.

It creates a materialistic society and promotes keeping up with the Joneses, and everyone wonders why there is astronomical credit card debt in this country. A clever idea? Perhaps. What is sad is that she was taken seriously and that anyone would endorse what she did. Doesn't that go completely against what this blog is all about? Nothing like living beyond your means, begging someone to pay your debt, and then being congratulated for it. Shame on them, and shame on anyone else who condones it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-18712364731946604342008-06-29T22:20:00.000-04:002008-06-29T22:20:00.000-04:00But...

Hmm, maybe I should fund my education by auctioning off the chance to do my homework for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-92005695093051288892008-06-27T13:59:00.000-04:002008-06-27T13:59:00.000-04:00Smart bride!
