Betrothal with a difference!

Postby Gasman » Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:36 am

I am attending a celebration for the engagement of a Cypriot couple tomorrow. It occurred to me that this is the first engagement or wedding celebration I have attended in for years where the couple are both Cypriot! It is about 7 years since the last time.

Since then I have attended weddings where:

Groom Cypriot father, French mother, Bride had Cypriot mother, father from Oman
Groom Cypriot, bride Russian
Groom Cypriot, bride Russian
Bride Cypriot, groom British
Groom Cypriot, bride Bulgarian

Perhaps, eventually, this will be the answer to the Cy Prob? When there are no true full blooded Cypriots left!

The oldest married couple I know in Cyprus are a TC husband (living in RoC) and a Brit wife. They are in their 80s, she moved here when she was about 15 yrs old. He has a UK passport she has a Cypriot passport!

I think it's about time I had my eyes checked. I read 'Brothel with a difference'. :)

First good laugh of the morning!


Well if you don't count reading the most pressing matters on that 'other' site! Not mozzies ...

Snails and why do they crawl up their walls.

and ...

Where does all this rain come from?

A few years back I met the last Greek Cypriot in Kyrenia. There used to be three until recent years but now it's just her. She is married to a respected TC policeman, now retired, whose presence helped save the family after the coup and invasion. Lovely couple.

Some combos I have seen are Greek Cypriot father and Scottish/Maori Mother married to a 100 % Greek Cypriot.
& Greek Cypriot Father and Dutch/Dharwal (Aboriginal) mother married to 100% Greek Cypriot .
