So my brother-in-law (BIL) announced yesterday that he is getting married on Friday morning. I have a few concerns, mainly that he is an unemployed 31 year-old computer geek that met his bride-to-be online several months ago. She is from Australia (yesh!), a very sweet girl, like having Olivia Newton-John around the house She is living w/ my BIL at my in-laws house, and she and BIL sit at computers set perpendicular to each other and play games all day! (My BIL was a tester for EverQuest until a few months ago).
So BIL is in Michigan, and collecting California unemployment, however that has come about, and that is the money that they live on (not much). She has been in the U.S. for about 6 weeks and has to go back to Australia very soon (not by choice) - it sounds like they are getting married now just so she can get back in to the States more easily the next time she comes back.
We are going to witness the ceremony with the Justice of the Peace on Friday a.m., do a nice family-only dinner in the afternoon, then send them to a nice hotel in downtown Detroit for the night. We are having a 'reception' at my in-laws house on Sat p.m.
Any ideas for how to make/do something else nice for them on such short notice?
