  I know a marriage that I always thought was a little peculiar.

  He is a 20 year old from Pennsylvania. She is a 42 year old from Jamaica, the Caribbean island.

  She has 6 children from a previous relationship. Her oldest girl is 16. The children were being cared for by her mother in Jamaica while she came to the United States to work and send money back.

  When these two got married they sent for all six children. They had one child of their own, a daughter.

  I don't want to say more on fear that they are recognized, but that was one coupling I could never understand.

  It gave me the creeps.

  These may not top the Druid one: I know a sister who went to an international convention and met a brother there. They didn't speak each other's languages much, yet she moved to his country and married him. She is now depressed and trying to get back to the US. I can also think of many who had little in common socially, culturally or in any other way (including myself) who get married because the "truth" is supposed be most important. That "loving Jehovah" trumps all else. I have seen many Bethelites do this.
