Okay, scribbling this to you lot because I'm going to go talk to Zach in a couple of minutes, but I am trying not to freak out, because I reeally like him, and I like being with him, and I didn't want him to worry about it, because it's so not his fault or anything and it's just his parents being mental, and I just want him to think it's all okay and that there are okay sides to this all but then trying not to freak out at him is just making me look really irrational and like I am totally into the idea and that I might have been plotting it all along which is so completely not true.

But oh my Salazar!

Zach's parents want us to get married.

Like proper wedded!

As in they want to have a chat with my parents and see if we're suitable, and of course we'd make a proper couple and we'd be right gorgeous together and we both have the right breeding and

Salazar, I can't breathe.

He would. He'd be a really fab husband, and father eventually, but I think the idea just weirds us both out. It's odd to think of either one of us as married.

Maybe that would be a good way to go about it. Not sure how keen thy would be about other cultures, and I don't want to completely ignore our traditions as well. Still, they haven't spoken to my parents, and if I owl them with those suggestions it might help.

	You don't have to mention the other cultures thing, of course, just present it as an alternative. After all, when you get married, you want it to successful, and happy for life. I'm sure your families would want that too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The way Zach talks about his parents sometimes, I do wonder if they do, but mum does at least which is something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The impression I get is that they have different priorities, shall we say. That said, if they can have a good match for their son and have him happy, I think they would be pleased. After all, society types don't like having their families gossiped about, on the whole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, it really wouldn't do to have a son upset and shouting off, embarrassing the family. Still, he loves me, and I think I love him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which is a good place to start. Better than some marriages amongst people like us, where the prevailing emotion was sheer loathing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
