If you were lmc but snagged someone "old money"

[Anonymous]

I work with my hands and I’m pretty talented, with some very niche skills. Got a contract working onsite for a very wealthy, influential man — pure gold! Only problem was, I didn’t have the bandwidth to complete the quick-turnaround project, so had to bring in a silent partner at the last minute in order to save my bacon. He got the job done, but drove a very hard bargain on the terms.

Still, my client was smitten, we got married, and I didn’t have to work again. When my business partner started threatening to enforce the terms of our old agreement, I was able to guess his password and destroy the relevant files — and ultimately the guy himself. Me and hubs lived happily ever after.

I was kind of weird in high school and my best friend was a total nerd. I came from what most would consider the wrong side of the tracks and worked at a record store for extra money. I had a huge crush on a richie but I didn’t think he knew I existed. His best friend liked me and made up lies about me but it all worked out in the end and I got the guy.

Haha I loved this movie as a kid.

Your prom dress was very zeitgeist.

I met my DH when I was at Radcliffe and he was at Harvard. I am from a poor Catholic family, he comes from New England blue bloods. DH’s father disapproved of our relationship and disowned him when we got married. We lived very happily for several years but then I died of leukemia. DH and his father made up on my deathbed.

I was a smuggler with a semi-reliable vehicle, somehow I picked up 2 weird dudes who needed a ride. Anyway, flash forward a bit, I got dragged it to some family business and a couple of really big explosions, but one of those guys had a sister who turned out to be a princess. Pretty good for a nerf-herder.

After ending my professional tennis career, I taught lessons at a posh country club. I became good friends with one of my students and he introduced me to his sister. We started dating and eventually got married, even though I was really into my friend's fiancee. His family loved me, especially my knowledge of the opera for someone of my humble beginnings. My wife's father set me up with a sinecure at his company, allowing me to spend my time sleeping with my friend's fiancee, getting her pregnant, and generally making a mess of things. Fortunately, things worked out for me in the end. For her...not so much.

I come from a large family of five girls with an annoying mother and a really hands-off father. The only sibling I can stand is my older sister. Anyone, she had an on again off again boyfriend for a while and I met her boyfriend’s best friend who was rude at first but then softened and turned into a really nice guy. My sister ended up marrying her boyfriend too.

But love means never having to say you are sorry…

Match Point

I have a friend whose family had some money, but who managed to marry into BIG money. Like HUGE old money. 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.

Interesting because my spouse had amnesia when we got together but we built a mini golf course together and then eventually she recovered her memory and it turned out she was rich!
