'Just Rewards (2)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Our grandparents still don't know that FSIL exists.
I have known several people whose parents' fought a marriage between different races or cultures or who cut off a gay child, but whose grandparents were much more accepting. Possibly this is because parents feel like these things are reflections on them as parents, while grandparents are more likely to just want their grandchildren to be happy.
When's the wedding? We can do a virtual toast in honor of the happy couple.
My dad's mom was definitely more accepting than either of my parents.
I'm pretty much nodding and pointing at what everyone else says. Gah, family.
oops, wrong thread...
And they haven't said a thing to me about it, either. I've been waiting for them to mention the actual official impending marriage, but nothing.
I hope for your sake that this remains the case. It is a blessing that your brother was not an only child. He needs his supportive siblings and future family more than ever.
It is outstanding that his future family-in-law sounds so great.
A story not really comparable to PCs case but worth sharing for amusement value.
A friend of mine (a Goan Catholic woman) was marrying a Jewish man. Her mother said she would "never ever ever" attend such a wedding.
My friend had a special wedding invitation printed just for her mother. It said something along these lines: "You are invited to come celebrate that Greg and I will live together and have many children. P.S. if my mother attends, the celebration will include us getting married first." Her mother attended the wedding.
P-C, are you really surprised? I don't even know them and I could figure that they would do that. Do like Raylan would do(Don't shoot) "Me and dead owls don't give two hoots," Horrified is a different matter of course. Just about the time I think I know where to put my own dad's moral limbo stick, it turns out I have to bend a little more.

October 11!

They're all ready to take them in if my dad cuts my brother off financially. I'm really glad. I was also ready to help my brother so he wouldn't have to, you know, drop out of medical school.
P-C, are you really surprised?
Not really. But my brother and FSIL were still taken aback by how volatile the reaction was.

Wow. Seriously good people. That's excellent.
