Chapter 4: Meet the parents
"So Rach, have you and Ross somewhat finalized the wedding plans?" asked Monica as she and Rachel were seated at The Ivy for lunch. "Yea, well we think. We know the date, August 30th, and we know the place, Seattle." "What made you two choose Seattle?" "Well I always wanted to get married there since I was little. My family and I visited friends up there and I always thought it was just, well I don't know, cool." "So where in Seattle again?" "Actually it's outside Seattle on Bainbridge Island. Were going to get married on the beach and have the reception on a yacht while sailing the Seattle Harbor." "Romantic, have you finalized any other plans." "Were working on the plates, napkins and such. But yea were almost there." I can't wait. I think I'll have to go up with you two a week early so I can go sight seeing." "Of course. Are you going to bring Chandler? I invited him anyway but are you two going together anyway?" "Yea, of course were dating anyway. It's a trip with my boyfriend that I don't have to feel guilty going on. You know how I feel guilty when I take time off." "Of course, so how's yours and Chandler's relationship going?" "Really well, we hit it off real well. It serious, more than Micheal's and mine. I know it may seem early but he could be the one." Really, that's great." "I know, but one thing stands in the way of it being perfect." "What's that?" "I haven't taken him to meet my parents." "Oh, he hasn't met the Gellar's. I get it now." "Thanks for being so supportive Rach," Monica said sarcastically. "So when are you going to introduce him to your parents?" "I'm not sure yet." "Oh, I got it, how bout' on Sunday when we have dinner with your parents. That way Ross and I are there to see how your parents take it." And with that Monica hit her. "I guess that would work the best. Your not there to see the outcome but to support me, right." "Of course, yea, totally, there for you one hundred percent."
"Hey hon." Chandler said as he opened the door. "Hey babe," answered Monica. "I'm almost ready. It will just take me ten more minutes. Why don't you wait on the bed?" "Sure babe."
Oh God, thought Monica, I'm going to throw up. I can't do this. They don't like anything I do or anyone I like. But Rachel's parents like Chandler, that means my parents have to. Or not, they aren't the same people. But they are best friends, God I can't do this. "Ok Mon, I'm ready. I promise I won't pull anything stupid like Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents. I also will try not to tell any stupid jokes when I get uncomfortable. Key word try." "Ok hon. Did I tell you I love you." "Not today." "Well I do."
"Rach were going to be late if you don't hurry up." "Sorry I just want to look nice. I just got back from the gym so I had to take a shower, then blow dry my hair, then straighten it, then find an outfit to wear, then change, put on my makeup, and comb my hair. I'll be down in just a sec." Will be there in an hour at this pace, thought Ross. I better go get the car started. "Rach, honey, I'll be waiting in the car." "That's ok I'm here." "You look beautiful," said Ross as he stared in awe at his fiancé who was dressed in a pink strapless Versace. "Thank you hon. Now are we going?" "Yup, let's go my love."
"Jack their both late." "Their coming, they probably got stuck in traffic. They'll be here in any second." As if on cue the doorbell rang. "Hey mom, sorry were running late. Traffic was terrible." "See Judy, I told you." "Well Monica dear introduce us to your new beau." "Mom, Dad this is Chandler Bing. Chandler these are my parents, Jack and Judy Gellar." "It's very nice meeting you both. I've been waiting to see who created such a beautiful daughter." "Oh, well thank you. It's also nice to meet you Chandler. Judy and I have been waiting to meet the man who has made out daughter so happy." "Oh well when's he coming." "Oh you are funny, Ross was telling me. I wonder where he is by the way?" Again on cue the doorbell rang. "Hey mom sorry traffic's bad. Are Monica and Chandler here." "Yea." "So you've met him already what do you think?" "He seems very nice and seems to make Monica very happy. I can see why you tell me he's a jokester." "Pretty funny eh?" "Yes, funny."
"So how long have you been going out?" "About 3 months Mrs. Gellar." "Oh wonderful, where'd you meet." "Believe it or not mom, we met at the Oscars. We were sitting next to each other. He told Rachel I was smoking hot and I overheard him." 'What a story to tell your kids." When Judy said this the table went silent. Ross' mouth was wide open, giving the table a beautiful view of chewed up food. Rachel was staring at her in awe, not quite sure what she just heard. Jack was also staring. Chandler was a little shocked, he was very uncomfortable and Monica was sitting in her seat shocked, angry. "Um, mom, who said anything about kids, we've only been dating for three months now. Right now were taking it slow, so when and if we get married you can bring up this story again." "Sorry dear, I mean when you are in a relationship we have to think your going to get married. There may never be any man for you." "Um, Judy Monica is a wonderful girl. And there you are wrong, Monica is too good for any guy, it is a privilege to be with her. Thank you for dinner but I have to go." "Me too Mom and I am a wonderful girl, just like Chandler said." And they left leaving everyone speechless.
