    About this ebook

    There are many things that go through a man's head before he gets married. Some men forgive the transgressions of their wives, knowing that white is never a suitable color for them to wear on that most-memorable of days. Some men can't forgive, they just don't have the capacity.

    And, some men take matters into their own hands.
