Hi everyone! How’s your weekend going? I hope you’re all doing well.
Today, I’d like to share my lovely story about meeting my boyfriend’s family on his mother’s side. It was my first time meeting them, so I felt a mix of emotions.
It was a pleasant summer weekend as we prepared to go to Auntie Sabina’s place—my boyfriend’s mother’s sister for a barbecue party. After waking up, we started our morning with coffee and relaxed on the balcony, just like our usual routine. While sipping our coffee, we discussed what time we should head out. Once we finished, we went back down to our room to rest for a bit, since we planned to leave around 11:30 a.m.
When it was time to go, we brought the food that my mother and my boyfriend had prepared. Then we all left the house together. It was only a 10–15 minute walk. At first, I thought we would drive, but when my boyfriend said we’d walk, I just went along with it. 😂 And honestly, it was definitely worth it — walking gave me the chance to see the streets around the area, enjoy the nature, and experience something different with all of us walking together.
We passed by different houses, business areas, and even a small park for kids. It was a nice walk. Then we finally arrived at Auntie Sabina’s place. Before we went inside, I met the youngest brother of my boyfriend’s mother and his wife, as well as Katrina with her husband and kids, whom I had already met before.
We went into their garden, and the tables were already set up. Grandma was there too, and the kids were already playing. I introduced myself, said hi to everyone, and greeted them with hugs and smiles. After a few minutes, they started grilling. Everyone was helping prepare the food, and they gave us drinks while we waited for the food to cook.
When the food was ready, everyone ate happily and shared the dishes. They also talked to me, and even though there was a language barrier, it didn’t really matter because we were all enjoying ourselves. Even the cutest little kids had their own table and were eating on their own.
They started serving the main course: grilled BBQ, sausages, corn, potato salad, and bread with the different flavored spreads that my boyfriend made. After a few minutes of eating and chatting, they prepared the desserts. Everyone was happy and full.
I also enjoyed the food and drinks. After that came the very exciting part — drinking time. Auntie Sabina’s very cool husband invited me to play Pop-Up Pirate. Whoever lost had to take a shot. Then we started the game, and everyone was laughing at me because I kept getting surprised or shocked whenever the pirate popped up.
We had so much fun ending the day. I personally enjoyed it because I don’t feel different around them. They welcomed me warmly and treated me like part of the family. My heart is happy knowing that I am with the right man and with such a lovely family too.
That’s all for todays story and I hope you get to like it. Simple yet memorable. ❤️
**Have a great day everyone! **
