The classic tale of British boy meets American girl under the hot beating sunshine at a Californian university. No, seriously that is what happened. They met at aged 19, weathered the pandemic together and graduated in 2021. Now living as fully fledged adults with great jobs, a cat and solid ideas for the future. The groom is our eldest, the first child to be married in our extended family and the last time he went to a wedding he was 3 years old. The bride is also the eldest of two girls, she is super smart and keeps him on his toes. I am fortunate that we get along and have a lot of respect for each other. In fact I think sometimes I like her more.
They live close by but her parents don’t, so I need to make sure I stay in my lane. They are fairly private people so I won’t be giving away too much about them, but that’s ok because this is about US, the mothers of the grooms who have spent years on our boys getting them to the stage where someone else will take them off our hands!
