Marriage, In laws and the Bride of Chucky

A friend of mine is getting married in just over a week... And like him, I have no idea why!

Its not that there is anything inherently wrong with marriage. Its not that there is anything inherently wrong with him, after all, he loves women. I just wonder whether he loves the woman he is going to marry.

Or maybe he does love her, but perhaps more accurately I worry as to whether he is IN love with her. Its not that a marriage cannot work for other reasons... but both parties have to be honest about what their reasons are before the marriage.

As if he didn't have it hard enough, from the way he tells it, his in laws are about as much use as a whore with a chastity belt... No matter how much potential they may have, they just never seem to give up the goods. So what do I mean by this?

Well what use are grandparents if they won't baby sit for you once in a while? Apparently, his son is so much of a burden to his soon to be wife's parents, that they won't even look after him for a few hours. Seriously... its not like they are crippled, but I do have to wonder if they are mentally retarded. (Sound the alarm, I am sure the PC brigade will be after me!) Its not like they are being asked to look after Chucky or anything, and even if they were, they shouldn't have a problem as according to my friend, his soon to be wife gives him enough grief to be the Bride of Chucky; so they have had plenty of practice!
