I know I yelled about this on twitter, but it's worth yelling about again: MY TWENTY-ONE YEAR OLD NIECE HAS ELOPED TO FLORIDA WITH AN AMERICAN DIVORCEE IN HIS FORTIES THAT SHE'S BEEN DATING FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. SHE WAS ENGAGED TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GUY IN MARCH (WHO WAS LEX'S AGE, SO OLDER THAN ME).

... I love and support my niblings in all they do, and if she's happy then I'm happy for her! I am very pro eloping and not telling 90% of the family that you've gotten married, because that's what I did! But as a family we're all kinda squinting at this guy like "Sir. SIR. EXPLAIN YOURSELF."

(And just to clarify, because I accidentally shit up one of my coworkers: she is back in the country now! If this is a weird cult thing, they have at least let her go once!)

Eeeek. My middle sister, who's 27, has dated a variety of WAY TOO OLD MEN. I totally know what you mean about 'look, if you're happy I'm happy, but why is this man interested in you?' Like the American billionaire our parents' age. What was that.

And then an elopement! After 6 months! At the age of 21! :clutches pearls: Well, fingers crossed
