Kasey,
I don't have a SAD version of "Green Card" for you. How about some
happy versions.
Seventeen years ago, my son married a Korean woman three times. They
had a Korean civil ceremony, a military ceremony, and a Christian
ceremony. When my daughter married a man from Beirut twelve years ago,
they were both subjected to an extremely rude grueling interrogation.
I guess the immigration service is just trying to prevent pseudo
marriages; but she said it was a very difficult experience for her.
Both my son and my daughter are still happily married and each of them
has two beautiful daughters.
My niece recently married a French man. He had been living in the US
for quite a while; but they decided to go to France for the wedding
and honeymoon.
I just recently heard that 'green cards' are actually pink.
Speaking of which, we all know the movie "Green Card" (I hope) with false
marriage and all that. And of course there's a lot of girls/women from
Eastern Bloc nations or China that wants to marry an American and come here
then get a divorce (and a lot of genuinely lovely and faithful ladies of
course). Is there a SAD version of "Green Card" written somewhere?
