We will meet for the first time on Thursday

A is coming to town.
I'm getting married in a week, and I took this opportunity to invite A and his wife. I asked dad if he was ok with it, and he was. I guess it's easier here, so far away from the people dad seems to fear.
My 'future husband' (gosh, that sounds so -- cheesy) and I are not people to judge others. T has been married twice before, I once, he has two teenage sons from his last marriage (they and I are occasionally like cats and dogs, but mostly we're fine) and we both know that Life -- well, it stabs you in the back sometimes and after that one has to pick oneself up and get on with things.
Now, wasn't that just profound?
Wish us luck! I will tell you of my impressions after I've met A. I hope I understand what he says... I have a hard time getting him to slow down when he speaks. He seems to find it really puzzling that when one no longer uses a language it goes a little rusty over time so he speaks at the rate of knots and at the same time a dialect I'm not used to. But -- it will be interesting! And it's high time we met, after five years of knowing about each other.
Have a nice day! :-)
