I can hear it now "Hey Monkey, you told Niece WHAT? Not to marry that nice young man? How dare you! What is wrong with you?"
I think she likes the gentleman farmer thing, too. The family name is a name that dates back to "the first white child born in Blah Blah county." She's a girly-girl, but she's got her head on straight.
And he IS the nicest young man.
