Kat was in for a real surprise when they reached Jeremy's sister's apartment. It was Jeremy's younger sister Aimee and Jeremy's elder brother Raymond who opened the door for them.
"Hey new sis-in-law, welcome to my humble abode!" Aimee said hugging Kat.
"Mom,Dad, the newlyweds are here!" Raymond announced. "Welcome to the Cassidy family."
"How come you didn't invite us to your wedding?" Aimee asked Jeremy. "You know how much I wanted to be the maid of honor."
"Look, we are really sorry that you guys weren't there to share the special moment with us but we just wanted to make things more Romeo and Juliet you know," Jeremy said.
"If it weren't for Kat I wouldn't forgive you," Aimee said.
"Come on mom and dad's waiting. Let's just talk this over at the dinner," Raymond suggested.
"Could you excuse us for a while? I forgot my something in the car." Kat said making an excuse to get Jeremy alone.
"Ok, just follow us at the dining room," Aimee said.

When they were safely out, the puzzled Kat demanded an explanation from Jeremy.
"What the heck is going on!"
"Why? Don't you like the welcome? I thought it was gracious," Jeremy said casually.
"Look, I have no time for jokes," Kat said growing impatient. "What exactly did you tell them about our marriage?"
"You see, it's sort of a family April fools thing, I've always pulled some gag and they would play along with it. They would go to the extreme until they made me admit that it was just a gag." Jeremy explained.
"As it appears, they heard about our marriage and they're supposing it's my official April Fools Gag this year." Jeremy guessed. "For the record, I've only lost once and that was when I pretended to be infected with some virus and would you believe they actually called a real doctor and men, he was about to inject me!"
Kat laughed.
"So are you on my team?" Jeremy asked.
He took Kat's hand and together they went to face Jeremy's family as husband and wife.
