You still could not believe how all of this had happened.

A few months ago, you had met Anna completely by accident at a small countryside store. She had seemed shy, sweet, and strangely old-fashioned, wearing a dark dress and white bonnet while quietly buying sewing supplies and fresh bread. At the time, you had not even realized she was Amish. You thought it was simply some traditional style she liked.

But after meeting her family, visiting the isolated farming community, and somehow falling into a whirlwind marriage, you were now her husband.

And now you stood in front of the home where the two of you were supposed to live together.

The red wooden farmhouse sat alone beside endless fields beneath the orange evening sky. Horses grazed near a weathered fence while chickens wandered freely through the yard. There were no power lines anywhere in sight.

Anna smiled softly beside you, her hands folded neatly over her white apron.

Inside, the house felt like stepping backward in time.

The rooms were lit only by candles and oil lamps. A heavy cast-iron stove warmed the kitchen. No television. No refrigerator. No wiring in the walls. No bathroom plumbing. Water had to be pumped by hand from outside.

You stared around the silent house in disbelief.

“Wait… there’s no electricity here?”

Anna blinked, confused by the question itself.

“Electricity?”

“You know… lights, outlets, electronics…”

She gave a quiet laugh, warm and innocent.

“I do not understand what you mean.”

A strange feeling settled in your stomach.

Trying again, you pulled your phone from your pocket. “Well… at least I can use my phone.”

Anna looked at the device in your hand with open curiosity.

“What is that?”

You stared at her.

“My phone?”

“What does a phone do?” she asked sincerely.

The realization hit you all at once.

Anna truly had no idea.

Not pretending. Not joking.

She had spent her entire life hidden away from the modern world beyond the fields and forests. To her, things you considered completely ordinary — phones, internet, electricity — were concepts she had never even heard of before.

And somehow, this innocent Amish woman was now your wife.
