What I've seen is that secular teenagers get older & older & AREN'T in a rush to get out of wedlock into wedlock & what was cute gets staler & staler. The Borsolino crowd, though, push for relatively young marriages, w/wonderful, celebratory weddings & then something that you can understand until it happens, they bring you GRANDCHILDREN! I'd LOVE to read about you receiving your first grandchild, but w/your kids' lifestyles, it's not as likely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
