Future In-Laws

It occurs to me, as I write this, that there isn't a name (such as "future daughter-in-law") for the relationship between the sets of parents of two people who are getting married. That seems weird, for some reason.

Anyway, the meeting went as well as anyone could have hoped, and I think that everyone involved had a fantastic time, travel mishaps notwithstanding.

One of the nicest things about being engaged is hearing all of the stories from my parents and Eldan's parents, about what their relationships were like in the early days, the things they did, when they bought a house, how they felt while planning to get married and move in together. It's so interesting to hear about, and these are things that I'm inclined to pay attention to- after all, both sets of parents have been together for over 30 years, which leads me to believe that they've done something right.
