Or the bride. My in-laws had some friends from India. The men were
business associates. Their son came to live in Canada and the in-laws
always tried to include him in things. One day he got a phone call from
his family. His mother was deathly ill with a kidney problem. He got on
a plane and scooted back home to find his mother in good health, and the
bride that they had picked out for him.
