OTW, I am truly happy that your family's experience worked out so well - and a generation or two ago, I think many such arrangements did. I can personally name three such couples who married, then had a child in each country, to establish dual citizenship.

I purposely left a LOT of details out of the example I gave - including the chill that runs down my spine each time I think of that dear, wonderful sister who had such a wild sense of humor and joi de vivre. Some day, I may be able to tell the whole story, but right now, it still hurts too much. My New Member class (and the one after mine) were instrumental in our chapter's Spirit Award being named in her memory. I best stop while I'm still making a little bit of sense...
