10. My cousin has two tickets for the 2023 SUPER BOWL, both box seats. He paid $2,500 for each ticket, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding.
If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place... It's
at St. Joseph Church, in Warwick at 3 p.m. Her name is Ashley. She's 5'2,
about 130 lbs. She's a good cook, too. She'll be the one in the white dress
