Most girls meet their boyfriends parents over a single slow and painful dinner. However when I agreed to attend Andrew's graduation I didn't realize that I was signing up for a 'meet the parents dinner' that lasted an entire weekend. Now don't get me wrong the Loe's are great and tried to make the weekend as painless as possible but there were still a few unavoidable awkward/embarrassing moments.
I flew in Saturday afternoon and started the weekend off with a nice nap (yes, I was staying in Andrew's dorm room... we'll get to that later.) We had dinner reservations at The Hanover Inn which is the nicest restaurant in Hanover. Thank goodness I had planned for this because the conversation prior to the weekend about packing that I had with Andrew went something like this...
Me: Hey what's the plan for the weekend, I'm trying to figure out what to pack
Andrew: I don't know what we're doing
Me: Nice dinner?
Andrew: Yeah, ummm nice dinner on saturday
Wow! Thanks for the help with that one
However when I arrived I realized that he was actually clueless on the event, asking his mother whether a coat was needed
Dinner went well, I think. I did however have to deal with one of my biggest fears of the weekend... spilling on myself. Now normally this isn't an issue for me but when I get nervous I have problems with this. So it wasn't really a spill but more of a drop. I feel as if I recovered well but I'm sure I turned bright red in the middle of dinner.
After dinner we made the rounds of the a cappella groups that were performing on campus. They had some pretty incredible shows. Once we left 'the fam' Andrew and I headed to Psi U... from there the night felt like every other night in the basement. No more pressure to tell good stories or look presentable. The night ended with 6 single flip games of flip cup... I couldn't have asked for a better night.
