Like @scissors said, the "w" and the "v" gets mixed up sometimes. One time he called a "wig" a "vig" and I couldn't stop giggling. Plus, the "th" sound comes out more like a "d," further adding to the cuteness. The best part is that he pronounces my name the German way...swoon.</p> <p>He thinks by Boston accent is pretty cute too, but it's been watered down after years of living out of the Northeast.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-1002173 Sun, 30 May 2010 00:15:20 +0000 xoxokristin 1002173@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My hubby is from Essex in England. I love his accent but it really has been disappearing, or else I notice it less. It'll only get worse when we move to America in October, too! When we went to England over the holidays it got all thick again and he started using words and expressions I couldn't understand! It's hot though!</p> <p>He keeps insisting I have a "Californian accent" (I'm from L.A.!). I don't know what that means but I don't like it when he says that because it probably means I talk like one of those stereotypical dumb valley girls that only exist in movies. I guess I use the word "like" a lot? He starts counting the number of "likes" I use after I Skype with one of my friends back home and apparently the number increases substantially! He thinks it's cute but I get upset <img src="http://boards.weddingbee.com/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-1002139 Sat, 29 May 2010 22:11:11 +0000 maisymay 1002139@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My husband and I just have our regional California accents, nothing much to note. However, I pick up accents from talking to others or listening to movies, and it's funny because I won't even notice. I tend to chameleon my voice to whatever I hear...kinda odd and utterly unintentional.</p> <p>On a funny note, I had an aunt who was Austrian, and she moved to Arkansas with my uncle. After she became proficient with English she got a job as a telephone operator (this was a few decades ago). I was told it was quite an interesting conversation listening to her! Austrian and southern, all mixed together!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-1002135 Sat, 29 May 2010 22:05:57 +0000 JoesWifey 1002135@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>so, it's not my DH, but the other day on the sidewalk an older man said "go ahead love" in an Aussie accent. I was in a bit of a hurry, he was chatting with a friend, and I needed to get past them but the sidewalk was a bit narrow so he let me pass. He wasn't hitting on me at all, but I loooved hearing him say it with that accent. haha</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-1002126 Sat, 29 May 2010 22:01:03 +0000 veganglam 1002126@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hahaha Knubbsy-WWubbsyu--I am a victim of the PA Dutch speech too. &nbsp;I have had to work *so hard* to start using "to be" because everybody at college would look at me like I was nuts when I'd say something as natural to me as, "That car needs washed!". &nbsp;FI calls me out on so many other central PA weird dialect things that I would have never realized were regional, but all of them are completely slipping my mind atm!</p> <p>FI is from Brooklyn and I knew this before I ever spoke to him, because I met him at college and everyone has a sign placed above their dorm door which lists their name, class year, and hometown. &nbsp;The first time I ever spoke to him, I had drunkenly barged into his room on a Friday night and I believe the first thing I said to him was, shocked, "You don't have a Brooklyn accent! &nbsp;You're from Brooklyn! &nbsp;Why don't you sound like you're from Brooklyn?!". &nbsp;Not that I was disappointed--dear god would I hate it if he sounded like everyone else who lives in his neighborhod hahaha. &nbsp;No offense Brooklynites but I don't exactly find the accent sexy. :P &nbsp;FI, despite having been born and raised in NYC, hasn't the slightest hint of a NYC accent. &nbsp;It's from a combination of his parents both being non-natives, having been raised in Connecticut, and his conscious attempt to avoid sounding like a New Yorker and just sounding like a normal, educated American. &nbsp;Whatever!</p> <p>I've got to say that Spanish accents drive me craaaazy...if FI had a Spanish accent, I wouldn't let him stop talking to me. Ever.&nbsp;<img src="http://boards.weddingbee.com/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-embarassed.gif" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-1002102 Sat, 29 May 2010 21:26:07 +0000 Knubbsy-Wubbsy 1002102@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My guy was an Army brat so he has lived in Kansas, DC, Missouri and Texas. It's subtle since he spent most of his older adolescents in San Antonio (too metro to have too distinct an accent) but his singing voicing has much softer consonances then I'm used to growing up in PA. So with a lower tenor (right on the verge of bari) and the soft sounds- it&rsquo;s really quite nice. Like TexasGalah said, there are variations in the accent and I am very grateful his father wasn&rsquo;t stationed anywhere that would pick up an East Texan accent- it just drives me nuts, and not in the good way. I have great friends from Tyler and Longview but its nails on a chalkboard when they speak (even Mansfield can get bad.)</p> <p>My PA Dutch dialect drives him batty though. While I make a point to include it in my writing, but &ldquo;to be&rdquo; does not exist in my speech, and I form my sentences much closer to the mid-late 19th century model (ie, "Throw over the fence some hay" rather than "Throw some hay over the fence")</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-541439 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 09:42:33 +0000 BubblyBride 541439@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My FI is Irish.&nbsp; He immigrated when he was 11, but his accent is still quite strong.&nbsp; I love it! He's definitely got that Irish charm.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>He calls me the "fat of my heart," which is an Irish endearment.&nbsp; He took Gaelic at school as a child, but doesn't remember much.&nbsp; Just enough to do a pretty funny impression of his Gaelic teacher scolding him - apparently he was terrible at it.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-540985 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:44:34 +0000 nbblondie 540985@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm another lucky one with an Aussie fiance...Love it!&nbsp; I could listen to him talk about anything forever :)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>@TexasGalah...We live in Houston too... moving to oz eventually... probably sometime in the next few years</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-522895 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:06:08 +0000 krissycake 522895@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@osakagrl - lol, that cracks me up! &nbsp;love it!</p> <p>my hubby is from iowa and has the no-accent midwestern accent. &nbsp;i kinda have it too, though i have never lived in the midwest.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/your-sos-sexy-accent/page/2#post-522890 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:04:18 +0000 Osakagrl 522890@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My Honey is from Japan and he still has a thick accent. When he speak english its more cute. His L's are actually pronounced as R's so he will say. "Oh REARY?! THATS REARY REARY GREAT!" hahaha i love it.</p> <p>but when he SPEAKs Japanese its totally a turn on, its very sexy ... I love it</p>
