Darling - There is something I forgot to tell you.

Last week I called my car insurance to complain about the rate. (Adding you to the policy increased the annual cost by $800 which is a lot for someone who drives the car about three times a year.) I explained the situation to the lovely phone representative. She checked the policy which showed you as living at home. She tried to change the policy and quickly discovered that dependents living away from home was not an option on the policy. But she had a solution; she would list you as married. As she was changing the records to show that you are married, I asked about your husband. She assured me that he is a strapping young man.

The long and the short of it is that I am saving $200 and you have a strapping young man as a husband.

I hope you like him.

I have offered my services as match maker to several of my single colleages. No one has used my services yet. Perhaps you would be willing to do a testimonial?

Congratulations are indeed in order! I hope you have a long and prosperous relationship.

...Though still, that's $200 a ride.

I think you will be very happy with Mr. Strapping Young Man! But be careful with parents as matchmakers. After some of the things Mom has attempted, I'm ready to die of shame.
