There are no hard-and-fast rules today about who is responsible for footing the bill, but usually the family of the felon pays for the getaway limo before the wedding, the cancellation announcements, the defense lawyer, the court rehearsal dinner and the bail bond. The groom pays for his boutonniere as well as the bride's electronic monitoring bracelet...

...moment, the groom is Don Juan. The women swarm around him, pulling his pants and boxers off to spank him. Then they divide and conquer, grinding on his friends, who snag chance caresses as they slide bills in the back of centimeter-wide thongs. In the end, the women are covered in wads of bills; the better the performance, the thicker the wad. A woman who can make her customers believe her act is generously rewarded at the end of the night...

...enough to get by, but annual costs run upwards of $10,000. Those who are serious need at least three horses (one for every two chukkers, or periods, in the standard six-chukker game). Price: from $2,500 to $15,000 each. Next come the expenses of a groom, a stable, feeding fees and the rig for transporting the animals to competition. Thus most of polo's new blood is well off, even if not fathomlessly rich: self-made achievers, entrepreneurs, administrators, lawyers, doctors, bankers...
