Legit. They meet at a segregated bar or a rodeo or something. Fucked once and got married. Stay together their entire lives regardless of happiness cos it’s a sin to divorce.
Unfortunately being slutty was much more dangerous back then. Distinct lack of available contraception, poor knowledge of STIs, discrimination against basically everyone except white heterosexual males, crazy laws around marriage...
Heh, my maternal grandmother told me that when guys would come to pick her up for a date. One of her brothers would answer the door and tell the dude she was taking a shit, and would be down in a min.
She also said that one time she got drunk off of some cider that they kept in the barn. She said her and her friend got super drunk and puked all over the living room then passed out. She said that when they woke up in the morning. Her brother had put her and her friend in the bed and cleaned it all up before her mom and dad woke up.
