Illustration: Weddings, Poverty

The husband was an older student, which didn't leave much money for our family of seven. One day while attending a friend's wedding, the 4-year-old daughter was sitting next to the mom when the pastor asked, "Do you take this man for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?"

The daughter turned to her and whispered loudly, "You chose poorer, didn't you Mommy?"
