I don’t know, as I am not really into Monty Python (I know, I know! Fortunately, my husband married me anyway). 🙂 My husband wears a kilt at least 40 days a year, which makes me happy!

Irish traditional music led to a very wrong marriage the first time out, but the music and the kilts are still GREAT!

That sounds like a very interesting story buried somewhere in that remark…

Interesting is one way of putting it 🙂

Ha! I had a very wrong first marriage, too, but if it had involved kilts it probably would have lasted longer. Alas, my ex is Italian. I wised up and married a man of Scottish heritage. I am quite happy, so take from this what you will. 🙂

Haha. My ex was Irish but hated kilts and Irish music. I don’t know why I didn’t run when he said he liked Bon Jovi and pointy-toed cowboy boots–the marriage would have ended a lot sooner if he’d ever bought the boots 🙂 He did encourage me to write though and I’ll always be grateful for that.
My second husband is a real keeper. Blonde Lithuanian.

Yes to Bon Jovi and cowboy boots but no to kilts and Celtic music? NO!!! At least yours encouraged you to write. Mine did not.
My second husband is a wonderful, tall redheaded Scottish-German (the latter by way of Barcelona, but that is another story) who encourages me to write AND is a chef. He is definitely a keeper, too. Cheers to our respective trade-ups!

German men are under-rated. My father was half German and a fantastic human being.My image of Barcelona is totally framed by the Whit Stillman movie of the same name.

I am half German myself, but The Chef is not too fond of that part of his heritage. It’s a long story: his Grandfather was born in Berlin but moved to Barcelona with his parents as a lad, and never went back. None of them did. So, although The Chef is from German stock on that side the preceding 2 generations lived in Spain. His Grandfather had 3 last names in his lifetime: the German one he was born with, the Spanish adaptation of said name, and then the ultimate Americanization after he permanently settled here as an adult. So, I guess it is easier to just say that he is of European heritage on one side, and Scottish on the other!
