I would assume that after you add up the mortgage, insurance, normal mothly maintenance, letterhead, stamps, gardeining, power, 144000, water, labor, and the cable for the Co apartment, devide it by the number of circuits, multiply that by a random number generated by hashing the total age of the governing body, you should get a nice tidy sum, to pay the bills, and send the reset to the worldwide work.

I think most still do. I seems to me that you are sometimes looked down on by some if you don't. I do know of two that didn't because they invited more than the hall could hold, so I think it was viewed different. I got married in the hall, I think because I wasn't much involved in planning and I just went along, I really never thought to look anywhere else. Of course I was young then and just wanted it to be over becuase i don't like big crowds. I think it was really the MIL getting the wedding she wanted, rather that the wife and I.

I would have been happer to get married outside in a park.
