It's one thing to have an affair, but to blatantly flaunt your lover at your daughter's wedding is totally another level of disrespect.

I'm a nurse. People are capable of much more than you'd think. I've lifted almost 500lbs dead weight (bariatric w/c bound patient starting to fall). And I was only 140.
