East meets West

We had dinner with Suse's family this past weekend, ie. "The official meeting of the parents". What a wonderful time we had!

I thoroughly enjoyed each moment of the hours we were there. People have been asking if we all discussed the wedding. Quite frankly, the subject of the wedding barely came up. There were more important things to talk about. We exchanged stories, shared good food and had many laughs. It was quite clear that they loved their daughter just as much as we loved our son. Most importantly, they loved our son as much as we loved their daughter.

It was not until days later that I really realized what happened that evening. Here were 2 families coming together - with nothing in common except that their kids fell in love. Somehow, that was enough glue to bond the relationship between us. Looking forward to watching the future unfold with our extended family.

As you said, most important is the fact that they love Bobby as much as you love Suse. Everything else will fall into place nicely!
