Yippeeee! It's Finished!

Well, I finally finished a wedding piece that I started two years ago. The
happy couple has been married for a year and a half now, so it must be time
to give them their wedding gift! (You don't understand, the last time I
gave a wedding gift it was 12 days after the wedding and the couple split
within a month! Bad karma!)

So, now I have to wash and iron and get sent off to DMIL to be framed. I
have already made arrangements for delivery to the happy couple via my
DFather in a few months.

Kind of OT: I also have almost finished a painting I did for the female
half of this couple as well, so it will be framed and delivered at the same
time as the wedding piece. How exciting to have two things almost
completely done and ready to go!

Happy Dancing in NY tonight!

One co-worker got married, and her boss maintained that the etiquette book said
he had one year to give them their wedding gift. Somewhere around Month 11.5,
he admitted to my boss that he delayed because he'd had his suspicions it
wouldn't last. The morning after she got his (expensive) wedding gift, she
filed for divorce. She wasn't going to file until she'd gotten that gift, and
she made sure to use it immediately upon receipt so he couldn't demand it be
returned to the store for a refund.

Well! I guess that just beats all! I believe the etiquette book does say
something about a year.....I'm just a little late! Nothing new there!

Yeah, we said that about her a lot. She had a scam for everything.

Yes, but she had to stay married to the guy to get the gift!

I have my suspicions that she had already sent him back to Mama's, and just
didn't file the divorce papers with the court till she got the gift, which she
knew would be expensive (her boss's wife had very good taste).
