But back to this past weekend...
Jen and I hadn't seen Tiffany's dad's side of the family since I was a toddler; or rather I should say they haven't seen us since then because I didn't remember any of them. So it was funny when we got all the "NO! Oh WOW! I haven't seen you since you were thiiiiiiiis big!" I hadn't gotten that in a loooong time so for 2 seconds I didn't feel 30 anymore! But then 2 minutes later I aged myself again when I met Dan's sister and niece who is now 4 and I haven't seen pictures or videos of since she was a baby and I went on and on about how that couldn't possibly be her! She just COULDN'T be 4 already! It was great to meet some of Dan's cousins and Aunt's and Uncle's. I thought meeting Dave's family for the first time was overwhelming, it was cake compared to what Tiffany must have gone through - both of Dan's parents come from big families, his dad is one of 11 and his mom, one of 8 (or something crazy like that!)
And being already married and having gone through my own bridal showers -- the Jack and Jill is SO the way to go!! There's still that anxiety of opening presents I'm sure but how much better is it that your significant other (who also benefits from all the gifts) is sitting right next to you going through the same anxiety!?!
Here are some pictures our Uncle Joe took:
Tiffany & Dan
One disadvantage for the guys being part of the shower, although I think Dan may have requested his "bridal hat"
The moms
Only a few of the MANY cousins
