If you were lmc but snagged someone "old money"

[Anonymous]

I was quietly living the bachelor life when the local municipality took my property via eminent domain. The local autocrat agreed that if I could help him find a suitable wife, he would give me back my property. After a bit of tedious searching, I found him the perfect wife. However, I discovered that she and I had quite a bit in common. Surprisingly, she also had feelings for me, and the rest is history. With her rich dad's help, we were able to get my property back and live happily ever after.

I was like, literally a prince and married a poor little rich girl who came back from the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean. Can't even remember which number husband I was, the gal had a bunch. It was pretty profitable for me, the way it was for all the others. It can help to have a title!

Sadly, in the end I lost my head over him after all. After the separation, his serial monogamy streak continued. Second verse, same as the first...

Is this some biblical thing?

It’s Anne Boleyn and Henry the VIII (and the plot of The Other Boleyn Girl)

Was it your idea for her to swallow the tapeworm to keep her weight down?

She was a preschool teacher and met this older, awkward guy from a really rich family. They were pressuring him to get married and settle down. My friend was really young and smitten. They ended up getting married and even having two kids. But it was a disaster. Her rich husband’s family was messed up and her husband was still in love with his old flame. They finally got divorced, and of course, she did well in the settlement. Tragically, her life ended in a car crash when she was with a new, rich boyfriend. Every time I hear a particular Elton John song, I think fondly of my friend.

Well done!
The Spencers are so much older money than the Windsors

Right, which is why none of them fit in this thread about LMC marrying old money

This sounds like a fairytale but I’m not familiar with it?

No one, it’s just a dirty, but the poster alluded to the song in the story, for which I award extra points!

I will add that despite all that money, we had to live down (gasp) Route 1 in the Fairfax county part of Alexandria.

Even though you ended up in the Mount Vernon pyramid, it was okay because you and your wife never had any children

I did have stepchildren, and I worried greatly about their education, especially since I never had much formal education. I secretly on DCUM asking for recommendations for private tutors in Northern Virginia and cosmetic dentists in Alexandria for false teeth.

Not a love story, but I snagged someone old money. I was an orphan in NYC and he was a billionaire bachelor looking to improve his public image. He adopted me and allowed me to bring my shaggy dog, Sandy.

I cannot figure this one out, and I just want to tell you that when I google "help the king to find a wife to get your land back", the first result I get is:

Don't do it OP. Once I dated this gorgeous girl who had a dad who was high-ranking politician. I had dreams of becoming a Naval aviator like Maverick and was low-key hoping that her dad could help me secure a spot in the academy. This chick was so nuts that her dad told me to drop her. But I was so in love with her that I derailed my grades to be with her. Like, I helped her to escape from this ritzy boarding school, only then she ditched me! Fortunately our break up set me on the right path and I was able to achieve my dreams of becoming a Navy pilot.
