Quote - Well, my wife is a total babe, at least to me, and many people that see her think she's 5- 8 years younger than she is (next year she turns 50) and I too am married to the one that counts. Hehehe her name's not Victoria either.
Same here. My wife and I went to the same university -- but we didn't actually meet until about 8 years later. She was a part of the upper social tier in college, put there because of her looks and her personality combined. To this day, she's still far, far better in social situations than I am.
I've had the experience of someone looking at her, and then looking at me, and then looking at her.......the question which followed was "What did SHE marry you for?" :lol:
We've also got an 'international marriage'. She's a northerner, and I'm a proud southerner. But that's OK -- so long as her passport is kept up-to-date and in order: they allow her to travel freely when she's south of Maryland.
Believe it or not -- I actually liked living and working in Boston for a little over a year. Massachusetts, no less. I don't have a noticable southern drawl (although many of my relatives have heavy southern accents).....so I could almost pass as a native up there. Or at least as a midwesterner. I even learned how to say "Park the Kar-r-r-r", and sound like I was talking through my nose at the same time! Just like the Bostonians do. It's an amazing thought -- but up there, people don't even laugh at you for talking like that.
