The Prenuptial........
Ed, now that you teased them, you have forced me to tell the story.
Two years to the date from meeting my present (and only) wife, I proposed. After a round of golf at Banff Springs I returned to Chateau Lake Louise, poured myself a stiff Irish Whiskey, presented an engagement ring, and proposed marriage to my then girlfriend. Once the excitement of the moment and a "yes" was the response, my future wife said....."so when are we going to get married?"
Being a good Irishman and with my mother still alive, how could I have two women in my life? Still my future bride pushed me to commit to a date to which I agreed to "sometime in the next five or six years". She was not satisfied with my new offer and with a more direct tone blurted out "but I am serious" to which I replied "so am I". Thankfully she was smart enough to let it be and buy more time to figure out a plan of attack.
Back in Santa Barbara and arriving home from work on a Friday afternoon, I was greeted with a large bucket of Bushmills Single Malt Irish Whiskey. "Have a sip" my wife said "I have a proposal for you". Several sips later I said "so what's the deal?"
Here is comes, the prenup........"If you can give me a reasonable period of time within which we will get married, I will permit you to play golf twice a week for the rest of your life no questions asked".
One sip later I said "howabout a year from today." Dosen't everyone have a prenup?
