What with all of the fantastic American men around, what made me choose to tie the knot with a foreigner? How about this fun, tongue-in-cheek, stereotypical rundown of some of my favorites (ignoring, of course, all of the challenges that go into an international marriage – you can find those in my post 10 Reasons Why You Should NOT Marry a Foreigner)?
Let the countdown begin…
10. That glorious accent! Who knew an “R” could be rolled that way!
9. Foreigners are oh-so-sophisticated. Whether they grow up on a farm, in the city, poor or rich, they just have an air of sophistication about them. They simply can’t help it!
8. He thinks I am fascinating. When we met in Ireland, he didn’t realize how completely common I am in my home country… too late now!
7. I have an open-ended excuse to travel. Ok, sometimes this can be completely annoying since every vacation abroad is filled with visiting his family but hey, at least I have a reason to board the plane and it is great not to have to cook and clean for a month.
6. Our children will speak another language and we won’t have to pay an expensive tutor.
5. Two weddings. I’ll admit that we didn’t end up having our second wedding (the “American wedding”) which upset my side of the family to no end (we really did want to have one, honestly, I swear!) but the excellent excuse for getting family and friends together twice is fantastic!
4. He automatically charms friends and family. See #9 above… Need I say more?
3. Chocolate and more chocolate. I finally have an excuse to indulge in that high quality chocolate (the kind that melts in your mouth like nothing else in the world) that he can’t live without!
2. I love a challenge. Who would want to have a simple, normal, easy relationship? Especially after our children arrived, things got really challenging (and it wasn’t the decision of whether to use cloth or disposable – that decision was the easiest: cloth!).
1. True Love! It just couldn’t be any other way! Meeting in Ireland, breaking up in Versaille for an excruciating 10 minutes, meeting the families, being separated for a year to finish college… it was all worth it and made our relationship even stronger. After all of that, there was no way I could let him go, ever!

My Friend, Use your own brain. Do not copy paste from somewhere...
Oi there, folks
I totally agree with NotAClue. If we are just copy pasting somebody's breainstorm we should not try to make it look as if we were the authors of that text, that's just PLAGIARISM ! Credit to the author should be given either at the beginning as NatAClue proposed or at the end as the closing line.
Hi, markandrew, welcome to EC!
You've put in a link, and maybe you thought that's the source, but it's not. The correct link for this article
BTW Corey Heller is the author of this text. If you want to share an interesting article with us. Just write something like: Hi, guys, I've read something interesting/funny/etc. I would like to hear your opinions about it... put in the link, and cite/copy only one or two paragraphs. Not more! This is the right way to give people credit for their work, and traffic to their website. Greetings!
If it's a perfect match and true love, it doesn't care and count what nationality people are.
I like your fine kind of humor behind that serious topic. I think it was not always as easy as it seems to be.

OMG, now we know in which drawer we can put you. :-/

Yep, I am. Any problems?

So what? What's the problem? Life is not only white and black!
If it's your only comment on that post, it's just poor!
