A respectful word to the wise. When it comes to certain expenses, it is much better for peace of the house to let the woman feel pretty (even if the brand name makes no actual difference).

Miss. S and I had a conversation about wedding dresses. Now, in the back of my mind, I thought, why not rent one rather than spend a thousand dollars on one. I am certainly going to rent the tux or tails or whatever she decides to let me choose without vetoing it.

She will only wear it once etc… etc…

However, I had he sense to not even imagine uttering those words.

Of course you rent the wedding gown! New York is full of Hachnosas Kallah gemach’s (Bridal loan societies) that are full of gorgeous wedding gowns, and also gown for the sisters, mothers, etc.

Although I bought the gown for my son’s wedding at a little Armenian bridal shop down the road for $350. They even did the alterations for free.
