Howard Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I'd like to ask my father-in law what he meant when he said "Do you know what you are letting yourself in for?" when I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage. I have a sneaking suspicion he was referring to his wife not his daughter. Quote
