Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work).

It's the most adorable and funny video...it's all about how the father of the bride feels when his little girl gets engaged to a man who is not good enough for her (because no man is good enough for her! LOL!)

I guess he has a book coming out called "8 Simple

Probably I'll have to get that one for my dad too, now that I'm engaged. Maybe it will make him less crabby about writing all those checks...Sorry Dad!
Dad's just can't handle giving away their little girl's I guess...
