"Marry Our Daughter"

[Grunwalder]

Better than nothing. By the way, we Russians are way tall. I'm taller than most of my school and yet I'm only 15. And we got an awful lot of viking blood too. While you got a lot of Swedish...

Pshaw.

That's bred out by now. Be Slav and be proud!

"Thank God for your site!  Our daughter was really nervous walking down the aisle, but she seems okay now and the money we got let us keep our farm and even add on a few acres."

—Mrs. Addrien L.

This testimonial sounds fake, "add on a few acres"? Usually it's difficult to add on a few acres rather than a another farm in farm land (at least, AFAIK).

EDIT: Sweet mother of Buju!

“Our 15 year old daughter Mary wasn’t very popular and did nothing but mope around the house bringing everybody down, so we decided to marry her off through your site. Now our house is a lot cheerier and we love our new swimming pool and Jaccuzi!  We’ve told our youngest that when she turns 15 we’re going to marry her off too!"

—Mrs. James P.

EDIT:

it was WAY too young to get married while still a teenage, who really wants to be tied down that young?

Nah. When saying that, they don't necessarily mean contiguous.
Farms are sometimes spread around a bit.

Yes, but no. You can't just buy a 100*100 meter area, you'd need to buy a whole paddock or even the whole farm, which would be more than just 'a few acres'

Most of the girls are around my age... I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED! MOMMY! PLEAAASEEE!

Sorry.

 

[morgoth2005]

Yet it was added onto wiki yesterday... quite. As my teacher says: "We students of history have to read between the lines..."

[morgoth2005]

Oh my God!!! This was in the testimonials section:

“Our 15 year old daughter Mary wasn’t very popular and did nothing but mope around the house bringing everybody down, so we decided to marry her off through your site. Now our house is a lot cheerier and we love our new swimming pool and Jaccuzi!  We’ve told our youngest that when she turns 15 we’re going to marry her off too!"

Who knows what "a few" means?
It's relative, and to farmers may mean
40 or 50.

They put you up for sale?

Hmm....

 

[Bulle]

Yeah, 1 dollar.

 

[Cirdan]

Yeah, 1 dollar.

There must be something wrong with her. She must be lacking in Christian values.

 

[calandale]

Sold!

 

[Bulle]

Did someone buy me?

Yeah, I'm lacking Christian values! I'd make a terrible wife and mother!

 

[calandale]

Sounds perfect. Already married (gods, I wonder
where I misplaced her?) and I eat children.

As to Christian values, all I insist is that you
be willing to dress up as a nun, and let
me take you in a confessional booth once. 

 

[Bulle]

That's kinky, just order some girl from russia instead.
