On Facebook the other day, I asked why, given that Vulcans practice arranged marriage, Spock's father, Sarek, broke with tradition and married an Earth woman.
A friend answered that Sarek, as Ambassador to Earth, decided it was the logical thing to do. Besides, as he told his son in the 2009 film reboot, "I loved her."
In the sequels and prequels, Vulcans hooking up with Earthlings turns out to be relatively common... Spock and Uhura... B'Ellana and Tom... T'Pol and Trip...
Humans are a bad influence, I guess.
