On Saturday my dad's family held a wedding shower and it was full of surprises. Not only did I hear some great stories about marrying into the George family, but I saw first hand just how small of a world we live. It turns out, Drew's sister works with one of my dad's cousins. They both showed up and looked at each other wondering what the other one was doing at the shower. Of course, it was easy for Jill (Drew's sister) to make the connection given the same last names. It was a little harder for my dad's cousin. I guess she didn't pay attention to the invitation or save the date to connect Drew's last name to his sister. Regardless, everyone got a big kick out of it and Jill did not feel out of place at all surrounded by Georges.
But, it doesn't stop there. It turns out too, that a good family friend on Drew's side babysits for the kids of a woman who works with my dad. The girl saw the invitation while she was babysitting and it was another small world moment.
I'm starting to think that I won't have to worry too much about who I seat people next to as they will probably know the person next to them! Okay, it probably won't be that easy, but I am crossing my fingers that the seating chart isn't too dreadful. I think that's the one thing that is giving me anxiety.
