Author Topic: What's The Craziest Shidduch Question You've Been Asked? (Read 13275 times)

LOL, let's just say that my wife is just a tiny bit shorter than me.

Long story short, my future FIL, a shadchan, and I used to daven mincha in the same shul. Apparently one day this shadchan was discussing how terrible my shidduch prospects apparently were (not that he had redt anything to us before, but whatever) because even tall girls were saying I'm way too tall for them (that part was true). So my FIL told him that it's a stupid reason to say no to a boy, at which point the shadchan said "Really now? I'd like to see you let your daughter marry him".

And the rest is history.

You know this road needs to lead to posting a picture, right?

He already has, somewhat

Nah, doesn't compare to real life. It's not quite David and Goliath but not too far off.

Being somewhat impulsive, I wanted to find a way to show them that I redt the shidduch precisely because I thought so highly of their son.

But it still wasn't enough, so you decided to put your name on your DDF Avatar and signature because your friends parents are huge DDFers

Inspired by this post:

Quote

... and while I met my wife through friends, I listened to some of my friends crazy shidduch stories and requests - my two favorites:

- Does he wear boxers or briefs?
- She needs to be a size 6, and read the NY Times and WSJ

#1 - a friend of mine was asked this question when he was dating
#2 - a friend of my mom's told her that when she had asked what her son was looking for.

Thankfully both have been happily married for around 20 years, so B"H it worked out for them.
