Ah, the irony of life
I'm from Oregon, on the west coast of the US. Being a Lutheran, I decided to go to a Lutheran college, and as most Lutherans live in the Midwest, I ended up going to college in Iowa. My parents were terrified that I'd meet some nice Lutheran boy there, get married, settle down, and they'd only get to see their (hypothetical) grandchildren once or twice a year. (I think their fears might have been influenced, just a tad, by the fact that they met at college and never left town.) Didn't happen. Came back to Oregon after graduation, got a job, and now I'm heading even further back East to go to seminary.
However. We are leaving today on a trip to Minneapolis-Saint Paul Minnesota to attend the wedding of one of my cousins. He's from Mom's side of the family, who are not only not heathens, they're almost all completely agnostic (including the cousin now getting married, last I heard). He, too, went to college in the Midwest. Who is he marrying?
A nice Lutheran girl.
