Eeeek. Not fun with the parents. Yeikes. But I have to say, the experience with Dave made me laugh. It's just awesome. He sounds like a really fantiastic friend. :o)

Knowing that about your mother also explains a few things about your father. My hat's off to him for even trying to be open about it with an influence like her always present. I'm sorry if I was a bit of an ass about his doubts about the wedding.
