That’s how silly we were.• With the $25 we bought our bedroom suite, our dishes, and a cabinet for the kitchen. We’re still eating out of the dishes we bought, and we’ve got the cabinet in our kitchen right now.•…The post Everything We Could Tell You About . . . A Happy Marriage appeared first on Texas Monthly.
