[quote=Anonymous]My D (graduate student) has met someone she is serious about. They have been seriously dating  for about 8 months. We met him for the first time a few months ago and have since seem him 2 other ties.  A really wonderful guy, very well spoken, intelligent, well dressed, kind of checked all the boxes. He has told my husband he plans to propose by or on her bday (July).

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to meet his parents and sister. I was incredible impressed, all very elegant, well spoken, charming and could not have ben nicer or more gracious. I have admittedly not really known many people from the south. His family is a very well known affluent family and I am intrigued.

They almost were like characters from a book (in a good way). impeccably dressed (read expensive, Gucci loafers mom had a Kelly bag, etc..) They were incredibly charming and charismatic. I was impressed with how close they aLL seem and they spoke about a few family traditions of going to a family summer house every summer for 3 weeks, and then a big family trip in the fall.

Maybe I am intrigued because this is so polar opposite of how I grew up. I am fascinated by them, this is almost like a character study for me. I think she will be eventually joining what looks to be a wonderful very close family who has had the good fortune to live the good life. They seemed much more civilized/genteel than their northwest counterparts (or anyone who I might compare them to). I cannot find any fault.

Are proper higher end southern families this way? Just curious if this is the "norm" [/quote]
