Okay here’s the real In-Laws meeting story:<\/p>\n

Due to the early curtain time my brother had given the tickets to his show to the new fianc\u00e9 – let’s call her The Maiden- and we’re instructed to meet her at the front of the theatre. Armed with only a brief glimpse of a iPhone pic Da, Friend of Da, SharkBoy and I scan the crowd for her.<\/p>\n

The Maiden arrives. Smiles and intros all around. She’s lovely. And brave to get thrown into the Gay Family Mafia with no Michael to fall back on.<\/p>\n

The tickets are split in two separate seating groups: A pair together close to the front and 3 a bit further back.<\/p>\n

Me: (taking charge) We’ll take the two so you and Dad can talk.<\/p>\n

The Maiden: …And you and SharkBoy can neck.<\/p>\n

I love her instantly.<\/p>\n

Our meeting was all too brief. I can’t wait to officially welcome her into the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
