I have to agree with Penny here. The OBHWF idea is far too saccharine for my
liking. There's "Ah, how sweet, you married your teenage sweetheart", "How
amazing that you both married your teenage sweethearts" and "What? You're
all members of the same family? Have you people even HEARD of a gene pool?".
