I can honestly say that one of the most interesting things I have ever done in my life was to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law. Upon our first meeting I had very little understanding of Japanese culture, language and etiquette (kind of like the movie 窶廴r. Baseball窶?. My fiancテゥ was already arranged to marry someone else. So in introducing me to her family, she was making it official that we were to be married instead. While my mother-in-law appeared to be ok with it, my father-in-law obviously was not.
We had a Buddhist wedding at a Shin temple in the states, but my wife窶冱 family was not in attendance. After the fact, my father-in-law sent my mother-in-law to talk my wife into getting an annulment. To make a long story short, it took five years and another visit to Japan before my father-in-law would even speak to us. We have been married over eight years now, and have become a very close-nit family.
Has anyone else here had a similar experience?
