Man Is Looking For A Wife In 1865 And His Newspaper Ad Will Make You Want To Marry Him Now

A love match over 152 years in the making.

“My buckwheat looks first-rate, and the oats and potatoes are bully.”

I mean, who DOESN’T like first-rate buckwheat, amirite???

Let’s be real – wouldn’t we ALL want someone who just buys us bread, butter, and hoop skirts? This is the dream!

TBH, I have a pretty good feeling things worked out for our buckwheat-loving bachelor. At the very least, he probably got a few quill-swipe-rights out of this?!
