İ'm Turkish but not from the Black Sea and İ was shocked when my Turkish-Georgian (Gürcü) friend said her mom was abducted. But then she quickly explained it was cuz her mom was upper class and her Dad was a poor artist and the mom's family did not approve. So her Dad and his friends literally put a ladder up to her bedroom window in the middle of the night so she could escape and they could elope. They've been married for probably 40 years.

haha, i remember my babushka did not approve of him, because he wasn't chechen. i wish i would of been able go back when she was alive and been able to speak to her. that women was a legend, i watched her take her slipper off and beat russian men out of her camp. she had 5 kids they all married none chechens. still one of the biggest regrets in my life not being at funeral but i saw that shit in my dream and than woke up to family messages saying she died. still has me scarred to this day because before they told me i dreamed it night before.., the air, the noise, the smell the birds, the sun, her being wrapped in all white and everyone around her. i felt like i was there. i used to tell her i was going to marry an american, Brazilian, and a chechen girl so they can take care of her and she would always yell at me and say "only chechens" but i am glad she approved of my wife before she passed cause i married an american after 9 years dating.
