Is the future Mrs Ruff traditional with her faith?

Modern orthodox. Not Jewbacca, but close, I think. She’s going to wear a head covering or wig when we get married. Wants me to wear a hat (which I do anyway) and not shave with a razor (you can leave stubble). Had my last tamale 3 months ago.
Ah, when I met her parents, it was:
Daughter: "Look at who I am dating. He’s been approved by the Beit Dein (or however it is spelled) and is in the process of converting — he’s already done the ‘hard part.’ (giggle).
Mother: “Oh, how wonderful. Jews-by-choice make the best Jews. You’re very tall. What do you do? Oh, you run a company. Oh, you OWN the company! And you went to college where? Wonderful! You have a house? Let me look it up on Zillow. Oh! No mortgage! And have you ever been married? No! Children. No? Want children? Yes. How come you’re not married? Army! Oh, my! You know, with your coloration and nose, you could be Sephardic! You look just like those tall Israelis we saw. So handsome! You know, there was a Jewish Indian chief? Yes, really! No, not the one from ‘Blazing Saddles!’ How funny!”
(The future Mrs. Ruff planned this out well. We actually had a dress rehearsal of answers. That was all in one breath, BTW.)
The dad was more like so-you’re-the-Indian-whose-been-fucking-my-daughter. But he’s mellowed out, I think largely because he realized his daughter loves me. Plus, he was a Marine in Vietnam and read my DD-214 I left on my desk in the guest room as if I was filing something for the VA, ON PURPOSE.*
- Also her idea. He never did say he read it, but did – a couple days later – ask how I got a certain medal that he had no way of knowing about.
They do not approve of the fact we’ve been humping like rabbits pre-marriage, but some things are non-negotiable.[/quote]
At least she didn’t ask to see if you are circumcised.
