One of my good friends is a modern “war bride”; she met her American husband when he was stationed in England in the early ‘90’s. She left England and moved here with him, had a beautiful daughter my son’s age and finally got her US citizenship about 8 years ago. She was so excited to vote against Obama, both times.
Beautiful family, happy, successful. Sure there are bad marriages of every stripe but there are plenty of good ones.
Maybe next the Feminazis can write about those Asian brides who marry American men about 30 years older than them. Or would the gold digger meme not make the men look bad enough?
Mrs. BN is also a “war bride”. She’s a Yankee. This Georgia boy went north and stole one of their “honeys” in retaliation for the War of Northern Aggression.
Sherman may have burned everything in the county on his way to Savannah, but as far as I’m concerned, we’re even.
I got “a good ‘un”! 42 years and counting.
BTW, when we got engaged, I called my grandmother to tell her. Toward the end of our conversation I said, “There is one thing you need to know. She’s a Yankee.”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a while. Finally, my grandmother said, “Well, if you love her, I guess it’s all right.”
I do and it is!
