Married? Yes, married.

By corisa

This marriage thing has really got me thinking – about the in-laws. I had a realization the other day that the fiance’s new baby nephew will actually be my nephew soon. That our marriage also means the joining of our families. This may sounds obvious but it was weird to think about.

Then there was the conversation with the soon-to-be-father-in-law. We were talking about our wedding plans partly in hopes that he’d offer some financial help. He was saying how expensive his daughter’s wedding was. Then he turned to me, laughed and said, Your parents have to pay for this one.

Ha ha ha. It was like I’d been slapped. It took me a minute to decide whether or not to remind him my father’s dead. I chose not to. Instead I turned to my hubby-to-be and said, Maybe we should elope. The one thing I knew his father doesn’t want to happen. Then forty minutes -yes i was clocking myself – I came up with a more appropriate response. If I could relive the moment it would go like this…

Then he turned to me, laughed and said, Your parents have to pay for this one.

I replied, Yes, and I’m a virgin and your son will be financially supporting me for the rest of my life.

We’ve decided on a potluck. I will not ask for any money from the in-laws.
