Future In-law Appreciation Post

So my future in-laws are thrilled that their first son is marrying me. We have good relationships, and I’m able to be close with them in ways that I’m not able to be with my own parents, which is really amazing & I’m so thankful for.

So now a little bit about how my FILs are amazing:

1. FH and I have been talking about taking dance lessons for about 2 years now. Nothing crazy, just enough to feel more comfortable when we go out. When we got engaged, we decided the wedding was a perfect excuse to finally take lessons.... so at our recent engagement brunch, his parents give us their gift...a handmade “coupon” for dance lessons, at the dance studio of our choice. (His dad made the coupon himself on PowerPoint while he was at work!) It is the CUTEST thing. And also.....so freaking thoughtful!!! I cried.

2. Our reception ends at 9 pm. We were a little disappointed about this at first since it seems early, so we wanted to make sure we could keep the party going for whoever wants to stay out, maybe back at the hotel bar. Well it turns out there’s an awesome brewery that’s open late, 1 mile down the street from our venue. We decided we wanted to have an after party here (we are VERY excited about this. I wanted a more intimate affair anyway, so by this time it’ll just be our close friends & family). ANYWAY we visited the brewery, got details about it (no venue fee woot woot!), and mentioned this all to both sets of parents as an FYI.
Last week, I get a text from FH’s parents. They went to the brewery for dinner, talked to the manager, said they were there to plan the after party for me, and got us hooked up with the balcony that’s there, games, and I don’t even know what else. I was in shock. It was SUCH a surprise and SO GENEROUS.


I’m floored by how amazing they are and how much they’re helping us out. These gifts are not just helping us monetarily, but they’re taking care of stuff for us that would have stressed me out, and they’re so meaningful!

Wow this was long. Sorry for the long read! Thanks if you made it through.

TL;DR: My future in-laws bought us dance lessons and an after party at a brewery, all to make us happy. I love them to pieces!

Anyone else have some in-law love?
