Something struck me while I was sitting at my family dinner for my mothers birthday. I looked around and saw everyone with their significant other, my mother and father and my two brothers with their girlfriend/wife. Then I thought to myself, what happens when I find the one I am happiest with, will it be okay to bring my boyfriend with me to dinner or will it be the most awkward thing ever.
Okay, so this isn't the first time ever that this has struck me. I mean, when I was at my cousins wedding last year I was wondering if my family would ever be accepting enough to be comfortable at my wedding some day marrying another man. Yes, maybe my mom's side of the family but I doubt my dad's would ever show up, or even want to associate with me again knowing that I would be living with another man. When I looked at my aunts crying at the wedding I realized that the probability that they would show emotion like that at my wedding is slim to none. Maybe I am analyzing this too much to the point where I am way wrong but I'd rather expect the least than the most.
Thought the picture from the show Modern Family came most appropriately for this blog post :)
