My great-grandfather met my great-grandmother when he was 31 and she was 8. He waited until she graduated from college (in 1907) and then married her. All 4 of their daughters hated him.

Wow. That's so ... Thorn Birds. Without the priest part, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Note that the girl in the Vows column only graduated from high school three years ago, so I'm guessing she's still in college....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Like, the werewolf falls in love with the newborn vampire?
Wait, what? Really? Not enough EWWW in the freaking world.
I don't mind emoticons, really, as long as they're not overused or incorrectly used. They're helpful for establishing tone, standing in for facial expression and inflection and such. But I don't use them here, although I trust Buffistas more so than others not to abuse the emoticon.

Hah--oddly, somehow i read that anecdote as having been posted by ita, and was...also not surprised. They both have interesting family stories!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My related story would have been the daughter who stole a man from her mother. She's had a very marked thing for men the age of her father all her life.

Isn't that part of the plot of the last sparkly vampire book? Like, the werewolf falls in love with the newborn vampire?
Yes, that is part of the plot for Breaking Dawn. And one of the reasons I'm slightly looking forward to the movie. Because that is going to be AMAZINGLY creepy on-screen, and I will laugh and laugh and laugh.
