(Am I missing any?)

I'll stop at this lucky, prime number knowing that there are probably 2 or 3 more that I've been to in the past 5 or so years that I cannot nor probably wish to recall. Please insert you're own reason.

So, what is my point?? My point is ducats. Cash. Cheese. Bread. Dineros. Call it whatever you'd like to but know that attending one, in as much as throwing one as I am experiencing first hand, costs money.

Between the flight, rental car, hotel, wedding gift, new outfit, etc., - it all adds up. Add to that the expenses incurred at the bachelor party and the cost probably doubles if not triples. (It's amazing how money seems to teleport almost instantaneously from one's savings account to the college fund of a red-headed junior named Cherry. Or Amber. Or Chastity. Or Destiny. Or...)

Needless to say, it can be overwhelming and the last thing Coco or I want is for our "blessed union" to cause undue, financial duress. After all, it was this link that prompted this post. (Thank you, Google Reader.) We understand we are popular people and that the wedding and stag & hen parties will be something to talk about, but we aren't reason alone to extend oneself. Or are we?

Spend responsibly people.
