I lurk here frequently and you ladies crack me up. Thought I'd share my (dumb) cousin's TIP.
My cousin, lets call her Ruby, is engaged to Arthur. She is 25, he is 24. She is in school full time who gets paid by her college to go to school there (single mom, minimal income) and has a 5 year old son from a previous relationship. Arthur is, per MH, a con artist. He swears Arthur will be one of those guys they do a 20/20 special about and find out he had a secret family/was a bank robber/serial killer.
He has no job and lives at home, Ruby lives at home with her parents too. Arthur is a know it all with a BA in English and an inflated ego. He is always talking about how he is going to be a screenwriter, actor, model, musician, blah blah blah.
Oh, and he "go into" law school but then he couldn't get enough in student loans to cover the cost of tuition and such ![]()
They're planning on getting married in May, over Memorial Day weekend. They haven't sent out invitations yet and word on the street (via Ruby's father) is that Ruby wants to delay the wedding until Arthur finds a job. I literally found this out 2 days after I went up and purchased my bridesmaid dress
Ruby's parents have already put down deposits on wedding crap and obviously will not get that back.
I called her yesterday under the guise of 'catching up' and she did not mention planning on delaying the wedding. Weird.
I just pray she decided to cancel this whole fiasco and cuts ties with this doucher. It would be a Christmas miracle.
Re: Jesigirli's Cousin's TIP with Bonus Wedding
Nah, the sounds of it, I think that they are going get married courthouse style after her parents lose the deposits. And the trainwreck will run on.
I feel for you though. I have about four trainwrecks running around me. For now, I am pretending they aren't around me until they do something funny or outrageous.
