1. The Oracle says that those embarassed by their beloved are unlikely to remain with them.

The Sage wonders how your children might look.

2. The Oracle says that commitment is more important than time.

The Sage suggests you elope a week before the wedding and have someone surreptitiously record the responses. If you began dating in October, it will have been 11 months since then when you marry.

3. The Oracle recalls that Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.

The Sage relishes the idea of an "accidental" meeting of the two women while you and your fiance are out.

4. The Oracle says neither a borrower nor a lender be.

The Sage would remind you that money can damage even the best relationship. If you know of something that she needs, feel free to offer it, or even buy it outright. There are women and men in the world who prey upon well-to-do bachelors and bachelorettes or widowers and widows. Only your instincts or a private investigator would tell you if she is one fo these or not.
