Re: Marrying into a 'boring' family
daffyduck, thats how mine are as well. They only have 3 people in their family and thats it. on the other hand, my family is huge. lots of chachas and phopos and cousions, My fiance makes fun of it that we need a excuse to get together. Anyhow in matter of 6 months i have made him into coming to the events atleast. I am sure once i get there; i can slowly start planning events with smaller group and go from there. You just gotta take one step at a times and slowly get him to be like that. However, even too many party picnics I hate because sometimes you can have so much fun just going to a movie with your hubby.
One advice though, Do not expect them to be JUST like your family nor you will be expected to behave as you do in your family. They have developed a way of life and have been living it since Many years, Instead try adjusting to their lifestyle and then everyonce in a while you can add some "fun" by even doing small things.
