My big sister married a farm Catholic boy in her grade at age 22.
I was 16 years old and one of her bridesmaids. I am proud of my big sister who was Christian converted to Catechism for him. Catholics enjoy gossips and rumors as much as Christians do. They have their routine and we have ours. My family being Christian middle class and the in-laws being rich farmers who happen to be Catholic it was good for my big sister to marry that farmer boy because they dated for 5 years then he proposed to her during Christmas. They have a great love story. Their daughter and sons are my niece and nephews. But once we have to socialize with his family it's awkward. It's getting closer to their 5th year anniversary. As I said in one of my earlier poems I don't like big crowds it's draining for me.
