Paternal grandmother or maternal grandmother? Curious. No agenda implied by the question.
I wanted to say my mom’s mother but I drew a blank at the time :)
My pop’s mom probably would have said the same thing. :)
Not until the late 30s or later in this country did female Italian immigrants or even daughters of immigrants have a lot of say in who they were going to marry.
It wasn’t “arranged” but it was “understood”
