Whatever you say, and the balance in the world must be kept, and while one half of the men of the planet flatly refuse to buy their halves new things and go shopping together, they are "rehabilitated" by a resident of California who gave his wife 55 thousand dresses!
This story just claims to be the most romantic, and if the main character's love could be measured in dresses, then he should be called the most loving spouse in the world!
Yes, it's just impossible to believe, but 78-year-old Paul Brockmann for 56 years of marriage actually gave his wife 76-year-old Margo 55 thousand dresses!
It is known that they introduced and brought together the future married couple ballroom dances. It was with them that the crazy hobby of Paul began, which fascinated him for the rest of his life ...
"I have been dancing since I was 13 years old. And I also met my wife on the dance floor, - Paul Brockmann shares his memories. - I always chose girls only in the most beautiful dresses, that's why I invited Margo. After the first dance, we could not stop and danced all night. From that moment we became closer, and I began to buy dresses for her ... "
But the beginning of this unique collection was laid in a rather sad period of life. Then, in the distant 50's, Margot and Paul lived in Germany and did not even know each other. But the memories of a poor post-war youth in the future couple were the same - they are empty stores, wooden shoes and parents screams even for an accidental fall. Like, my knees will still heal, but, thank God, the pants and dress are in order!
On his first official job at the seaport, Paul first saw how a huge baggage of clothing arrived from the United States. But even among a bunch of colorful "rags" Paul was able to recognize the real masterpieces - luxurious and feminine dresses of American designers. It seems that he did not need the payment for work in the port - he knew what he would bring home.
After the marriage and moving from Germany to the United States, Paul did not change his tradition - every week as a gift to his wife, he began to bring a new outfit in which they went to the dance.
Well, at the 33-year of their marriage, Margot estimated that her collection consists of 26 thousand outfits!
You will not believe, but if Paul's purchase of dresses turned into a real passion - he could come home every day with a new thing or buy a dress from the window, when he imagined his wife in it, Margot on the contrary - she was absolutely not interested in shopping, but more loved cleaning in the house and cooking.
But the couple's daughter Louise remembers that before the pope's arrival, my mother always wore stockings, heels and the most beautiful dress! By the way, it was thanks to her that the world learned about his father's amazing hobby. Paul Brockmann, for the time being, managed to "hide" Margo's clothes in the garage of the house, but when they occupied 6 containers for shipping, they had to disclose the secret of their contents ...
Today, the couple decided to sell their collection, the cost of which, by the way, exceeded $ 1.5 million. To do this, they rented a warehouse with an area of more than 4 thousand square meters. m and sorted out all the outfits, among which there are creations of designers Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang, in rows by colors.
But most importantly - Margot and Paul do not regret that it all ends, because they will forever have memories that are more valuable than several such collections!
