Although I don’t entirely agree with the saying, “When you marry the man, you marry the family” I think it’s really nice to “fit in” with my fiancé’s family.
I happened to have two well placed days off that allowed me to help Lilac Dude’s mom prepare for and run a garage/estate sale. I spent those mornings and afternoons with Lilac Dude’s mom and 15-year-old brother, while Lilac Dude was at work.
What was awesome to me was that we are comfortable enough to joke around even to the extent of me putting a 50 cent price tag on my future mother-in-law’s forehead.

Your own family is pretty easy and you don’t even think twice about one of your parents greeting you at the door with a hug or driving you to the doctor when you’re sick. It was significantly different when Lilac Dude’s father, whom I had known for 3 years at the time, drove me to the doctor when I was too sick to drive myself (Lilac Dude was taking an exam).
I know that I’m one of the few lucky brides with a good relationship with my future in-laws. I feel incredibly blessed that I don’t have to deal with the in-law drama that I hear about from other brides.
I wish there were a secret formula to a good relationship with your in-laws, unfortunately there is not. Like all relationships, it takes work on both sides. And if you don’t have a great relationship with your in-laws, just remember that you aren’t marrying the family… just the man.
