So the other day I get this ambiguous email. Not that an email from Zane’s parents is anything out of the ordinary. Normally they request more dirt on what Zane’s really up to, whether he washed his underwear this week (no), or inviting us out on our weekly double date escapade.
Don’t get me wrong, I love them as if they were my own, but I think they’ve crossed the line. I think our relationship just took the next step. We are going together to his cousin Erin’s wedding in Vermont. Now in my world, that’s big. All that love in the air, the hopes that you could catch the bouquet, the nervous anticipation for cake. I mean, I haven’t even introduced them to my parents yet and now this?!
To top it all off, they’ve booked us at a hotel for 3 days and 2 nights. I don’t know if I’m ready for this. And then they mention how they’re bringing Grandma Madge. With all that they are telling me, the one thing they don’t tell is… what are the sleeping arrangements???
Now, if this were my family and we were on vacation, Zane and his Dad would share a bed and Melissa and I would bunk up. But then…. No one wants to leave out Madge. So my mind is going through all the combos.
Zane and Madge, Tom and Melissa, me on the floor. No.
Tom and Melissa, Zane and me, Madge on the floor. Maybe.
Madge and me, Melissa and Zane, Tom on the floor. Yes.

This story has only begun. The answers will follow in July, but in the meantime I will keep hypothesizing….
