Meeting of the parents

I don't know how I let this slip my mind from the last blog. This is just as important as the wedding. The meeting of the parents happened this past Saturday. How it slipped my mind? I don't know. Maybe because it was pretty uneventful.

No, don't get me wrong. The meeting wasn't boring. It was pleasant. It was nice. It wasn't the dreaded event (like Meet the Fockers) that Vin had imagined it to be. Trust me. He was a bit nervous about the whole meeting. Just having the families get along. I wasn't worried about it much. Sure there is a culture and a language difference. Yet, you really can't ask for the great parents that Vin and I have. Each one of them made an effort to make everyone at ease. Vin's mom made a great lunch with all the trimmings.

I was actually surprised of only one thing. My mom. My mom is more the quiet one between my parents. My dad is the social butterfly, very outgoing and engaging. Yet, my mother actually went out of her way to befriend Ms. Ferraro and Vin's sisters. She made this flan shaped in a 4 leaf clover to honor Ms. Ferraro's Irish culture. That is my mom. She loves me so much that she tried to make Vin's family comfortable. I love my mom and I love my dad. I really couldn't ask for better parents.

So, one less hurdle to worry about. Now the next hurdle: Where are we going to live????
