Any of you October 2012 brides in my boat -- your parents and your fiance's parents will be meeting for the first time at or near the wedding? Just looking to commiserate.
Our parents live 2,500 miles apart and have never met, and will be meeting for the first time the day before the wedding. My dad is a retired cop and he and his wife (my stepmom; my mom is deceased) are small-town, provincial Bible-thumpers. On the other hand, my fiance's parents are, in short, divorced hippies. My future father-in-law will probably regale everyone with tales of things he did once while high, or maybe some government conspiracy theories.
I'm going to start drinking now.
