YOU do not remark that you do not have enough food. You do not start before everyone else.

YOU regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why. No one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity-style behaviour. + |.

(There is nothing wrong with that except that convention is such that one might presume they would have saved over the years for their daughters' marriages.) If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes. ! p7 j `+ K; G$ @9 y' q( g0 D+ H+ @- \ P' d
