He never thought she would say ‘yes’
This love story shows that even the older generation has a strong head regarding love. Not only that, but women showed men that they could also choose what they wanted. This Redditor’s grandma did not accept her grandpa’s proposal 18 times. During World War II, the men needed to marry before they left. Grandma was beautiful, smart, and funny, and Grandpa could not let go despite many refusals she gave to other suitors who proposed.
However, she loved him despite his poor life, which made her family dislike him. He came home from war, and the love sparked. He later went to college for teaching, and they married and have been married for over 50 years with five kids. Grandpa is a happy man, and that is because he didn’t give up on her.
