To do some Christmas shopping, I went to the ghetto-licious Toys-R-Us here in Roanoke recently (you know, the one where the shelves never have anything on them, and you feel like you’re walking through an abandoned hospital instead of a toy store). On the way to the store, I walked through the parking lot for David’s Bridal. I looked up and saw their brightly lit sign. I looked through the windows and saw the immaculately presented wedding gowns. And, I looked down and spied a soiled diaper right in front of the store.
Perhaps it is there as an omen to keep your wedding dreams grounded in harsh reality.
