Looking forward to the big family meeting?

My mom is coming to visit this weekend to discuss wedding plans, and that made me think--once again--that our parents need to meet. (Now that I've finally gotten over Dad's girlfriend, and now that Will's parents are *mine* too, I'm actually --happily-- anticipating it.)

Mama Anne and I discussed it while I was in Auburn over Christmas, and Mom and I had talked about it several times before that. We've all already said the "big" meeting will probably be in Orlando, but in December, I finally convinced Mom to visit Auburn once(!!!) Not now, of course, but eventually she might. (Fitting enough for a newly converted Tigers fan, I think. WARRR EAGLE! She needs to TP the oak at Toomer's....) Anyway, I digress....

I guess I'm just thinking about the eventual meeting because I notice some similiarities between Mama Anne and Mom, which is awesome. There are some differences, of course, but those just make everything interesting. Mr. B.(Dad numero dos) seems to think he'll get along with Dad just fine, so that was great to hear. I assume, since Mom and Dad are divorced, there will be separate parents' meetings, but that's okay. Right now we're still working out the Mom-meets-the-in-laws bit. Once that's settled, then we can move on to the next one.

Am I crazy? Was/is anyone else looking forward to the parents meeting each other? (I think I've said this before, but I really love my future in-laws, differences and all.) For the most part I'm just glad to be comfortable around both sets of parents, and I hope everything goes well.
