You heard me, my uncle is 75 years old (76 in a few weeks) and this son of gun is getting or has gotten married! *eyeroll*
Usually, I get excited about black love. Hell, I've even shedded tears for folks getting engaged/married who I've never met (Will & Tia, STO & Feyonce, JT's Unc & new bride, etc.), but this time, I'm just out done.
Mind you, my dear, geriatric uncle has been married 4 times (2nd & 3rd wife are the same woman) & he has a few children who are older than is lovely bride *sarcasm & eyeroll*. The last time I visited with him (a few years ago) he was talking this foolishness and I tried to talk him out of it.
I have no doubt my uncle has about 10+ years left on him & this wench is just waiting to cash in. Now he's not wealthy by any means, but he did OK for himself & all of his children are grown.
He claims he got shafted after the 4th divorce which I why I questioned his motives in doing this yet again and at his age. His answer was simply, "I don't want to be alone." *insert Silkee's world renown record scratch here* WTF?!?! Y'all have been shacking for damn near a decade and now you don't want to be alone. Come on Unc.....
I'm all for the institution of marriage but this is sheer & complete madness.
Oh, did I mention my other uncle told me that most of the men in our family have "had" this chic at one point or another. She was my cousin's girlfriend 1st & after being with him for a little while, she test drove the crew and somehow ended up with his father - my mama's big brother.
I suppose congratulations are in order.....*Ugh*
