| Mike: What's your daughter and future son-in-law think about your blog?
Ken: I didn’t tell them initially, figuring I’d tick them off since I’m pretty honest about everything. But I did confess to my daughter about two weeks into it and she said she thinks it’s great. I don’t think she read all the posts, especially the one where I talked about her telling me that I had to pay for her wedding. |

| Filene’s Basement (http://www.filenesbasement.com/) has annual bridal gown sales, often referred to as the ‘Running of the Brides.’ Gowns up to $9,000 end up going for $700 and less. However, this is not an event for the faint of heart or men. |
