A Jewish girl I was engaged to in 1986 made plans to charter a 747 to pickup and fly in our relatives and friends from all over the country for our wedding.
But, my father died before we were going to get married and she got into a huge fight with my mother when we flew back for my dad's funeral. It started when my mother was taking us up to our room and she noticed Andrea had brought two big suitcases that were empty. My mother asked her what they were for and Andrea said for when I go shopping at Bloomingdales. Needless to say my mother was in mourning and she was blown away that my finance planned on going shopping while the whole family was so distraught over my dad's sudden death.
Then an hour later after we ate dinner my sister asked Andrea to come and help with the dishes and Andrea said to her "Do these manicured nails look like they do dishes?" which set my sister into a tizzy.
Next thing I know it was WWIII in our house and we packed up and went to a hotel for the rest of the trip. Andrea and I of course got into a huge fight over everything and I realized she wasn't the girl I should marry.
Thank god the price on the 747 charter was going to be in the 6 fig range. Total insanity looking back on that materialistic relationship.
