Years ago, I mentioned in conversation with some coworkers that I’d gotten married in Las Vegas. One of the coworkers said, “You don’t seem like the type.”
I found that remark amusing enough to remember it nearly a decade later. Exactly what “type” gets married in Vegas? My husband and I were engaged for a few years before taking the plunge, and we were well into our grown-up years when we got married.…

Sure, you probably have some sort of coverage for your insurance deductible through whatever credit card you use to pay for the rental car. But do you really want to take the risk of having to report a minor mishap to your car insurance?…
