That is true. But I think I'd expect mothers to be more upset if daughters have bad marriages rather than upset if they get divorced and money ends up wasted. I think if it's bad marriage then money is wasted just the same as in divorce. Maybe just how I see it. I think the whole concept is ridiculous. My daughter recently widowed, she had a nice wedding. By this logic money was wasted. Makes no sense to me. It's just money

I wonder if mappers mother knows how bad things are does she insist they stay together because she paid for it?
