My marvelous friend Barbara brought mutual-friend gossip this weekend along with herself and the snow. A friend got married to his girlfriend with only a few days notice, because she'd been laid off from her job and was going to lose health benefits.

Is this the 21st century equivalent of the shotgun wedding?

That's why I got married. Of course, we'd been living together at that point for 14 years. Mind you, once I got health benefits again, we didn't get divorced. Somehow, that's not the same thing.

Also, I have to admit that the party and gifts were motivations as well.
