We agree, this is not the manner in which one should conduct oneself. What she is putting everyone through is wrong. Marrying a stranger is a ridiculous and dangerous thought. It could bring a long list of problems.” Consuelo’s heart bled when she implored “But think of Mauricio. He brought himself a ring and a tuxedo. He is prepared to stand at the altar Saturday.
