Excerpts from a wonderful article about a man and a woman who meet online over their mutual love for tractors, published in a North Carolina magazine called This Week (I must note that the whole thing is set in Pennsylvania):
"She wanted a man who could share the thrill of a good tractor-pull show, who could see the beauty in a shiny row of green and yellow tractors."
"On their first date, it was Sonya and Tom. And Pap. Sonya's granfather was a chaperone, sitting quietly in the back of her Jeep until they reached the Bonanza steakhouse, where the retired farmer chatted with Tom. About tractors, of course. ... Tom didn't mind Pap's presence. 'It's all about trust,' he says. 'Her mother didn't want her to go by herself and I understand that.'"
Since then, Pap has died, but they got engaged at his house, in order to put happy memories back in, and they will move into his old house after they marry.
Rural people even redeem online dating--what can be shady if your grandfather is with you at Bonanza? Okay, so there are some questionable aspects: they got cow cake toppers and will ride a tractor home from their wedding...
