I used to work in youth ministry, and kids from the neighborhood would hang out at the church house I lived in with other roommates. One time one of the girls showed up before everyone else, no roommates at home. We hung out on the front porch until more kids came by. Unless you trust the female, and everyone who saw her go somewhere alone with you, don't be alone with her.

The distinguished media and financial services company Bloomberg has waded into the numbers game. They have analyzed a large amount of data on marriages, divorces, and the cost of the wedding. They came up with an astounding conclusion as follows:
"The cheaper the wedding, the longer the marriage."
The total cost of my wedding to Elena in February of 2001 was as follows:
Contribution to Cross Roads Bible Church: $200.00
Webvan for wedding treats: $ 50.00
Pastor Samuel Nandakumar presided at the wedding. Two of our readers were there-Joao and Djenane Santos. My platonic roommate Jacqui Kwon was there. (She has since returned to South Korea.) I got the feeling that no one there thought that the union would last that long.
Sadly, I have been to the weddings of several dear friends. They were elaborate and expensive events. Those unions did not last. There may be something to what Bloomberg said.
