(Bride and Prejudice: No Life without Wife)


Yesterday, Amadeus, Lexis and I got to visit some old friends – three lovely girls we knew in Egypt. The conversation turned, as it often does in a small group of girls, to men and marriage. We discussed "lists" of things we were looking for in a guy.

Lexis, my 15-year-old sister had quite an impressive list. Highlights:

-magician
-composer
-someone with a secret (she was quite serious about that one)
-green eyes
-genius
-plays harp, violin, piano
-strong enough to carry her
-British, Scottish, or French accent
