Quote of the Day: Carolyn Hax's Advice Column
A reader submitted this story:
When my first husband and I announced to my parents that we were getting married, the following conversation ensued:
Mom: "You'll have to have the rehearsal dinner somewhere with dancing."
Dad: "I'll pay you a thousand dollars to elope."
Mom: "Oh, Bruce. You'll have to have a breakfast, too. For the people coming from out of town."
Dad: "Two thousand."
Mom: "What colors do you want for the reception?"
Dad: "Five thousand."
Me: "Sold."
We eloped to Greece.
