Perhaps some other disclosures about Mike will bring him out. Does Mike personally know the author of the article?

We called twice: once to let her parents know that we had arrived safely at a certain place. Two, to remind them to pick us up at the SLC airport.
Apart from that, no, not a lot of calling home.

We had very little contact with family members during our honeymoon. We hoped for zero contact but we did get a call from a family member a couple days into the honeymoon.

I voted wrong. On our way to the airport in Vegas, my FIL called us and told us he left his wallet in his tuxedo. So I had to call my dad and make sure he pulled it out before he returned the tuxedos. Other than that, nada.

The second Farrah recounted a buttinski but well meaning MIL, I thought...aha! As Clouseau would say, the case is Sol-ved!

Honeymoon was one week long, and the former MIL arranged things so that two nights would be spent in her home, plus she would see us on two other days, including having six meals together, attending her ward, and attend a temple session with her. Little did I know at the time that the experience was only a sneak preview of things to come.

I never know how much to reveal on these message boards about my spouse. Perhaps I revealed too much personal info about Mike's mom. Sorry about that.

No more revealing than he, and if weren't for the quirks, we'd have no stories. Mike often remarks how much he likes stories. As do we all, so thanks for sharing.

When my wife were first married, we lived in utah while I was going to jrcls....2L and 3L years. My inlaws expected us (not in a militant, gay agenda sort of way) to go to their home on Sundays for dinner or when the family had an activity (school play, birthday party, get together, etc). My wife's biological father lives in AZ. When the holidays rolled around, it was a huge flare up because both sets of parents were offended at the thought that we would spend the holidays with the other set (neither set cared at all about my family's preferences, interestingly enough...and for the record, my family always left it up to us, to this day even though we 45 mins away) After the first 5 months, and freaked out a bit. I knew that we were being used as pawns in a game of Divorced Politics between the two sets of parents. I had to sit down with my wife and lay out my case. My wife quickly agreed. We went to both sets of parents and put the proverbial foot down. We announced that from then on, we would attend or not attend whatever function we felt like attending. Holidays would be spent wherever we wanted to spend them, often just at our own home. If we chose to visit someone, there would be no score-keeping, no requisite alternative every other year, etc. We also expressed our love for both and the likelihood that, for practical purposes, not much would change, save for the attitude of expectation that we "had" to go somewhere if the parents felt we should be there. Turned out to be the best decision of our early marriage. We were mavericks!
