Husband and I have been married 38 years. We dated for 4 years and were engaged for 2 years, so we have been together for 44 years and we knew each other before that.
While we were still dating – before getting engaged – one of his grandfathers died while his parents and sister were out of the country. Other than his parents, sister and his other grandparents no one had met me. His sister is 9 years younger than him. I went to the wake with him. All of the relatives there thought I was his sister as they said I looked like him. (She does not.)
We have had people ask us if we are a couple or related, so I guess we look alike – both short and heavy with dark hair and eyes, but otherwise he looks Italian as he is and I look Jewish as I am so I am not sure why they think this.
Then again, I am not sure why any time I am in a store, someone will stop me and ask if I work there…
