Last Sunday, I brought my fianc\u00e9e, Mallory, to meet my parents for the first time. Mallory\u2019s tall, platinum blonde, and not a size two, but she\u2019s the warmest, sharpest person I know. Despite this, my mom barely smiled, and my dad wouldn\u2019t look at her.<\/p>\n
When Mallory stepped out to take a call, my mom asked if I was sure about marrying someone \u201cthat big\u201d and said it wouldn\u2019t be a good match, while my dad mentioned \u201chealth\u201d and how I\u2019d \u201cresent it later.\u201d<\/p>\n
