Golic's wife called in and offered to buy the tickets so the woman wouldn't have to sell the rings. -EK
Title: Re: Wedding rings for tickets Post by: Spider-Dan on November 15, 2013, 01:20:15 pm The ring is from a previous marriage. The story headline, while technically true, is misleading.
It's like if I was interviewed for a story titled, "Man has to sell off grave plot of military son killed-in-action to avoid foreclosure," and it turned out that I happened to own a grave plot of some unrelated veteran (who was necessarily someone's son) that was KIA in WWI. It's all true but if the details were clear, no one would care. Title: Re: Wedding rings for tickets Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on November 15, 2013, 01:39:30 pm ^^^^ Party pooper.
You are correct this isn't "The Gift of the Magi." But you do have two happy couples: One is giving her husband a great 40th birthday gift and the other is getting engaged. |
