Harassed as a kid for his brown skin, accent, and femininity, he believed he could belong in America by marrying a white man and shedding his Filipino identity. This was the first myth he told himself. \u003cem\u003eThe Groom Will Keep His Name\u003c\/em\u003e explores the various tales Ortile spun about what it means to be a Vassar Girl, an American Boy, and a Filipino immigrant in New York looking to build a home.\u003cbr\u003e As we meet and mate, we tell stories about ourselves, revealing not just who we are, but who we want to be.
