Very early on, my folks were a little concerned, because the first time they really had to think about it was when Dan and I were planning our wedding. Planning a wedding is daunting enough by itself, but helping your daughter plan her wedding when you know nothing about her religion must be kind of overwhelming. So my father said, "Is there anything...dramatic I should prepare my parents for? Bonfires? Human sacrifice?"
"Only if we can get Rush Limbaugh," I said. And then I guess my folks knew I had enough of a sense of humor about it that they could ask me anything.
On holidays, my brother-in-law and I take turns saying grace. It's not something my family did when I was growing up, but it makes Z feel at home.
