Parents Meeting

Just be honest and shape it in a positive light. Express something along the lines of how your mom cares and is supportive of you but she's very calm and slow to show emotion.

If you expect your marriage to last a year or more, you might as well tell the truth, since it won't change. Tell them your mom is not someone who believes marriages are the merging of two families. She sees the two of you as the only ones that come together, and though she will be happy to meet them at the wedding, she likely won't go out of her way to meet people that she does not need to see regilarly, due to covid. Or after. One of my aunts has never met any parents of the spouses of 5 of her married kids. They mostly live 500-3,000 miles away. One set in Europe. Doesn't much matter, as she does not bump into them at the store or the dentists, or at the grandchildren's school, or anyplace within the 100 square miles nearest her home. 🤷

View Quoted Comment Oh wow, that’s interesting about your Aunt. I love how you said not believing marriage is a blending of two families, that’s perfect and is what she thinks. Thank you!
