An Arranged Marriage


I wonder what it would be like... meeting a man your family picked, knowing you're going to spend life with an utter stranger. God, it scares me who my family would decide was my perfect other half... but a little curious to. I picture a quiet, sweet guy who is very much a 'momma's boy,' goes to church religiously, maybe even works for a religiously affiliated organization, and exactly the kind of person I'd have nothing to say to. Well, I can talk to almost anyone if I try hard enough, but being matrimoniously bound to them is a whole other situation! I think I'd scare the poor guy in the first hour. (OK! Maybe a little on purpose.) I don't think he could handle my stories, experiences, creative personality, and extremes. (Am I the only one who feels "normal" by watching episodes of Sex in the City? Doubtful...)

HERE is one woman's story.
