“Come on Lacy, we are going to Michael’s Bridal Shop. I’m lucky. Yesterday’s newspaper said they are having their yearly bridal gown sale. They have dozens on sale for $99. How is that for a bargain? I want to find one with ruffles and a V-neckline. Hurry before they are picked over. I bet they will be crowded this morning.”

Or better yet, let me carry one rose and you have a small bouquet of red and white ones?”
“I love that idea. Yes, we can both carry a single white rose. I bet Daddy will like that. I will tell him as soon as we get home. Do you have any other ideas to hold down costs?
