WEDDING SCENARIO Janice Is So Excited Because Her Boyfriend Just Asked Her

WEDDING SCENARIO
Janice is so excited because her boyfriend just asked her to marry him, and, of course, she said yes. Now comes the big task of planning the wedding. Her parents are paying for the wedding, so Janice needs to abide by their wishes even though she might like to have a more extravagant reception than they are willing to pay for. Plus, she will be getting married in the Catholic church, and the priest said her and her fiance have to attend pre-marriage counseling sessions over six weeks. They are not really thrilled about doing that, but they know they can't get married in their church if they don't. Her parents are very frugal, and her mother even suggested that she wear her old prom dress instead of buying a new wedding gown. After all, she only wore the prom dress once. Janice was mortified when her mother suggested this, saying, "But mother, the dress is pink! What would people think if I wore a pink wedding dress? Wedding gowns are supposed to be white!" So they settled on letting her pick her own gown, but her father had the last say on which one he would allow her to purchase. The wedding day came and went without a hitch, and Janice is now a busy homemaker setting up their household. She was a little nervous about this at first, but her mother had taught her proper food handling and how to cook, so her husband was quite pleased with her domestic skills.
