The Wedding Gift He Didn't Expect

Synopsis

Halfway through the wedding ceremony, my husband, Eric Grant, dropped a "surprise" on everyone. He grabbed the microphone, looking all emotional, and announced that to repay his parents, he'd give them 6,600 dollars a month for living expenses after we got married. His parents, Richard and Marjorie Grant, burst into tears on the spot, and the whole crowd erupted in applause. I just looked at him, emotionless, waiting for the applause to die down. Then I took the microphone from the host. My voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly through the whole hall. "Wow, Eric, you're really the model son." "But your salary is only 2,000 dollars per month. So where's the other 4,600 coming from? Are you planning to have me pay your parents, or should we pass the hat around and ask everyone here to chip in?" Apparently Eric's smile froze instantly at that moment.
