    A friend of mine married. At the wedding, her father (a widower) met the grooms mother (a widow). Some time later, they married each other. Some time later again, my friend and her husband divorced.

    Can you imagine this kind of awkward family meetings?

      Okay, do you mind if i one up the awkward? I had some friends in high school start dating. Their parents were single. They met. About two, three years into the kids dating, the parents start dating. As soon as they graduated high school, the kids got married. A year later so did the parents.

      Both couples are still together but like, “yeah i’m married to my sister. she wasn’t my sister when we got married tho. damn mom and dad” is one hell of a story.

        If you think about it, it makes sense. 2 similarly raised kids should theoretically have parents with a lot in common.
