Like everyone else, I watched Jeff Wong and Erin Martin's totally over-the-top save-the-date wedding video. Like many others, I noticed that the bride-to-be is taller than her groom-to-be. How much taller? Significantly. At least four inches, I think. Maybe six. As I've written about here before, I'm tall (6'1") and dating a tall woman has its own unique challenges.

First of all, restaurants are super crowded and it's hard to get reservations; many of them have prix fixe menus that limit your dining choices and the prix might be more than you want to pay.
