…and I’m a nervous wreck with an over-active imagination!
My mom will meet Gary’s parents for the first time tonight and I’m so nervous that they won’t get along or find things in common. I’m worried that there’ll be a very awkward silence while we’re around the dinner table. And I’m worried that I’ll have to resort to wine* to calm my fears. I’m sure things won’t be that bad though… *Holding thumbs and crossing fingers*
On a lighter and much less worried note… Gary joked with his parents yesterday saying that he’ll have to give them a manual on what the correct etiquette is when dining with a baroness**. And for a second they thought he was serious…
Hopefully tonight will kick my fears in their butts, and have the parentals laughing and chatting until I have to drag my mom home…

*Anyone that knows me well, knows that I can’t handle alcohol. I’m such a cheap date that I’m plastered after just one sip!
**My mom is a baroness and I so wish the title could be handed down to me.
Note: My mom lives and works in Abu Dhabi so I wanted to organise for her to meet Gary’s parents while she was out here for my niece’s birth, else she’d end up meeting them for the first time at the wedding! My dad and step-mom have not yet met Gary’s parents since they also live in Johannesburg and there isn’t any rush. I think I’ll be even more nervous when their time comes to meet…
