Finding a Wife

I made good, very good and decided it was time to find a wife. So, I returned to the old country to get a wife thru a marriage broker. That was how my parents and their parents got married and as far back as the family can remember. But even in the old country it isn't practiced much these days. At 39 I wasn't relationship type person, I paid women for sex over the years or use my position to get women to provide me with sex. So, I was a bit shocked that my whole plan to find a wife was failing. But in the backward rural areas they still practiced the old ways more than the cities did. But it wasn't a suitable place for me to find a wife, but there was a slight chance on my mother's side her brother had married late and had a family and they lived in a rural area. It wasn't so backward that he couldn't be phoned, and my mother enquired about available wives in the area from him. Not much chance was his reply, mainly because they had already been selected by others hopeful husbands. But he said his daughter 17 was available still. But he would leave it to her to decide, whether or not she wanted to marry. So, my mother and me headed off to visit her brother and his family to check out her niece. I found a slim fairly attractive girl who wasn't a great student and had left school to assist around the home, quiet and shy towards me at first. I found her to be very intelligent and reasoned her parents had taken her out of school. Once we had got over her shyness with strangers, caused by family traditions than actual shyness. We got on very well and she was quite excited about travelling overseas if we were to marry. But I'd to pass the family examination, I pass the first hurl, I came from a good family theirs first tick and I could support her very well second tick. The third and final test was she willing to marry me as her father had said she could choose. She didn't rush her decision and I had to wait a fortnight. Another tick of approval, then the wedding planning started, not a quick trip to marriage celebrant there's a whole list of customs to follow. I returned to my home and back working and also getting my home ready for my wife to live in. I had turned 40 while back in the old country and after six months back home I was to return for the wedding of my now 18-year-old bride to be. She was still willing as she had the option to change her mind up to the wedding day, but on the wedding day that option was gone. But she was happy during the wedding, and we stayed two more weeks after before returning to my and her new home. Everything was new to her, and we settled down to married life and she got pregnant fairly quickly and now 8 years later we have 5 children. Including a set of twins.
