Travel Channel, I blame you!

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon. Nana and Poppa had just come from Iglesia. And the Top Ten Caribbean Travel Destinations was on the TV.

My mother begins the conversation with "Marsha why don't you get married somewhere out there?" and my eyes grew two sizes. The following are several sound bites that I hope are appreciated:

"You want your dad to marry you right?" - Nana
"Matt can wear a guayabera" - Nana
"Everyone can paid for themselves" Nana said referring to the destination travel costs for guests
"I'll buy your dress as long as it's not too expensive" - Nana
"This is all hypothetical" - Nana
"Your abuelita Victoria, yea she can't travel" - Nana
"I wasn't scared [to get married] " - Poppa
"I made the tamales for our wedding" Poppa said as she motioned stiring movements

Then I try to turn the tables,
"Who will pay for the wedding?" -Me
"You want us to pay for it?" - Poppa

"Or you should get married in Miami and I'll get to visit" - Poppa
"I want a California license, so if we divorce I'll get half!" - Me :)


Did I mention I'm not engaged?
