Chernogorsk Alphonsees love Muscovites
"I always dreamed of living by the sea. And although when I lived in Vladivostok, my family and I went to relax on the coast, but I wanted to have a house at the warm, southern sea. In dreams I was presented to me in which the whole family is going. The house, from the windows of which you can see how the sun gets up due to the horizon.
A few years ago I found myself in Montenegro. I went around the country and once it turned out to be in the town, which completely fascinated me. It seemed to me that in this town so cozy, practically homely. And then I saw the house that was the embodiment of all my dreams: very close to the sea, big and light, and a luxurious palm tree grew in the yard. I had to work hard so that this house would be mine, but it happened. And here I am the hostess at home on the coast, mom and daughter make plans for how we will rest here, and it seems that the dream has become a reality.

There are few Russians in this town, and the locals were so smiling and hospitable that I really felt at home. Locals spent time in small restaurants by the sea. And since such a restaurant is close to my house, and my family and I got used to dinner there and quickly onceed with everyone. But my mother was very surprised when he once found several of our new acquaintances on the terrace of our new home. They are comfortably settled in the sun loungers and discussed something in their own language. When I went out and asked that they were doing here, these hot guys answered that they came to discuss the issue of engagement. At first it seemed to me that I was heard. I tried to ask, but in response he heard only the assurances that everything is in order and I do not need to worry. At first I was really not worried, I thought it was some kind of local custom. I went to Moscow. But in the next arrival, I learned that almost all residents of the town discuss the future wedding. "Who marries?" I asked. And heard in response: "You!"
The "fiance" turned out to be one of those of our friends who sat on the veranda of those memorable in the morning. "This is not true," I protested. "But everything is already ordered," they assured me. It turned out that locals quickly learned that I was not married, in Russia they know me well, and that I have a large apartment. Possessing this information, one of the local nominated his candidacy for the role of the groom, promising the rest that you will have everything outside the holiday season, in Moscow, and to use everyone than wanted.
So I learned that in Montenegro men did not work. Maximum than they are able to deal - this is the delivery of apartments by the sea for rent. But their "work" lasts only during the holiday season, and then they spend time on conversations about how the next time they will find an opportunity at all not to load themselves with work. It was in such a company that I got! My "groom" proudly showed me a local magazine for which he gave an interview in which he told the "story of our love". Not even knowing the language, I was able to understand that, as they say in our saying, "without me married me," because in this country the only work of local men is the search for women, at the expense of which you can live.

I was shocked - a whole city of typical alphonses! To me with great difficulty managed to convince friends that the wedding is a bluff! But this did not mean that I completely got rid of the attention of local residents. When they realized that I was not going to marry anyone, they declared me with their sister and began to demand me to find Russian women. Moreover, they did not even demand that their "brides" were from Moscow, they agreed to other cities. Since the end of the holiday season, one of these "grooms" settled on me on the veranda under the pretext of the protection of the house, because his apartment was taken by creditors. It turns out that there is so accepted - all the property lay and live on loans. That is why they, like birds of prey, rushing on coming rest. So now I am the owner of a whole bouquet of "enviable grooms", however, they are not ready to give anything to a woman, but they believe that in Russia it is not important, and most importantly, it would be cute nearby. I know it's wrong! I know that we live beautiful, strong, self-sufficient women for which a man is not an app, and a worthy, strong satellite of life. And I believe that it will always be so! "
