(31,849 posts)Immediately after promising to Love, Honor and Protect (not Obey), Mrs. 1StrongBlackMan, made a similar vow to BabyGirl 1StrongBlackMan, and as with Mrs. 1StrongBlackMan, I sealed my promise with a ring that she wears around her neck.
The fact is/was BabyGirl 1StrongBlackMan DID come as "a part of the package" and as such, my marrying her mother came with a recognition and acknowledgement that I have a special duty to Love, Honor and Protect BabyGirl 1StrongBlackMan, as well as her mother.
Nothing creepy about that!

(53,410 posts)He asked her if she and her children would marry him. And they even asked us three children if we would marry him. We all said yes. I always thought that was really cool.
As far as I'm concerned he was always my father.
