The man I married had been a friend of the family for several years. I was 12 and he was 29 when we first met. We got married when I was 24 and he was 41. We're still married 25+ years later. Age is just a number.

Age is just a number unless one of those numbers is under 18, then it's a law. I admit it can still make me feel squicky though when I see a man in a relationship with a woman who is technically young enough to be his granddaughter.

You're right, but she doesn't look to be a minor any more in the photos on the site so why is the age they were when they first met even relevant? If she was currently 8 and he was currently 22, then I can see where a wedding in 81 days would be a problem.

Some women are naturally drawn to older men, often much older men. I dated one guy who was my own age in high school and it wasn't a good experience. I have always been drawn to older men, often men that were 15, 20 or even 30 years older than me. Even at the age I am now, if my husband passed away, I couldn't imagine dating someone my own age. He'd have to be older for me to be even slightly interested.

I wonder what the reason for his divorce was? It did not seem to be a problem for her family, and it seems he has custody of his daughter, so the ex may have left him.

Also, he's an attorney, so at least she won't have to live in poverty.

I don't believe she is young enough to be his grand daughter. My father was 18 1/2 years older than my mother, they were married 42 years before he died. My maternal grandfather was 33 years older than my grandmother, it wasn't an issue to them.

Age aside, This guy is an abject tool. When he was incollege, he sued because he claimed that the portion of his student fee that went to support the student health clinic violated his freedom of religios expression becasue the health center provided abortions.

This squicks me out more than the age difference:

I began to ask God that if Greg were the one, He would open my heart.

The whole idea that you should just "learn" to love someone because "God" (aka your parents/elders/church leaders) tells you you should rubs me the wrong way. I realize this is a cultural thing but still...

Greg's leadership and patience give me trust in God that he is the right man for me.

If you have to "trust" a fictional being that this is the right person for you rather than having ANY kind of personal feeling on way or the other, I am sad for you...

I am wondering what the issue was that would make it "difficult" to marry Greg that they were glad he told them about.

[TheJewAmongUs]

The song makes me very happy that:

1. I'm Jewish

2. My parents let me listen to Bob Dylan, Metallica, and basically anything I wanted.

I can't tell, are they actually touching in picture #5? I noticed they registered for king size sheets. I can't decide if this implies there will be touching or not.

[anniebgood]

Ah, they live in Pixley. That explains a lot. It's a blot on the map that's known for truckstops and migrant workers. If you're driving up CA99 it's a blink and gone kind of town. A place where there's not a lot to do except look at the vineyards and farm fields. No wonder they're all crazy.

ETA My dad was 25 years older than my mom. She was 27 and he was 52 when they got married though.

[Clementine]

So what could the reason be? He obviuosly isn't a virgin. Any guesses?

June 23rd Greg called Dad and asked for permission to court me. When he came down to visit Greg gave us a reason why it would be difficult for me to marry him. Although important, it was not an obstacle for marriage. We were thankful that he was looking out for my interests and not trying to manipulate us.

[xReems]

The baggage that comes along with him-divorced man with sexual experience and a teenage daughter. Usually that's frowned upon in fundie land, especially in the eyes of the Seppi family since they're bat shit crazy. I wonder what made them be okay with Regina betrothing him.

i think just the reason that he was divorced.

Oh... *disappointed* I thought that it would be something... more secret and snark-worthy. Like confessing that he happened to see his neighbour's wife naked once and got a hard-on and ever since he has prayed for forgivness for his sin or something like that.

But you are probably right!

[hoipolloi]

Yeah, it's probably his divorce, which I'm SURE was only for a totally righteous reason. The guy sounds like a complete tool.

Funny how the phrase "bat shit crazy" and "Seppi" go together so naturally.

[Drunkenbutterfly]

Didn't someone who knows the family came here and said that Regina and Greg's daughter don't get along with each other and they are currently trying to make things work?

EDIT to add: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4482&hilit=seppi

So Amazing, do you have any news?

[ricky_ticky]

It *can't* be the divorce and the teenage daughter that was the possible impediment! They would already have known about that so what's to tell? Maybe he indulged in porn or likes to gorge on butter pecan ice cream or maybe he got a vasectomy when he was married or engaged in a three-some.

I can't believe they are giving away their sweet virginial daughter to a man who's already proven a failure at marriage, though. It is pretty unusual.

The only reason would be his divorce. The only acceptable grounds for his divorce would be adultery on the wifes' part.

She's in her late 20s at this point. Time to cast her off and focus on the younger, unmarried, 20-something daughters.

[stonefruit]

holy crap, he's in the John Birch Society? What a winner.

[tropaka]

A winner indeed - he also talks about having "trained up" his daughter....I wonder if maybe First Wife ran screaming away.....

[NurseNell]

I think I read his father was a big whig in the John Birch society.
