12."My stepmother and dad have formal wedding portraits (not sons!) of their daughters. Their walls are proudly displayed. The problem is that I have been married three more times. We eloped the second and third time. My wedding portrait, taken when I was 20, must be seen every time I visit their home. It lasted for three years. "Why don't you have a portrait me when I received my doctoral degree?" I wonder. They see weddings as the most important moments in a woman’s life.
