Father of the Bride: No Job, Just Smile

Yehuda Lev February 9, 2006

Recently, I told some friends that I was going to accompany my younger daughter while she tried on wedding dresses. Their reactions were as follows: From the women: \”How very sweet\”; \”How lovely to bond with your daughter\”; \”I\’m sure you\’ll enjoy it.\”
