An SNL Love Story

Chapter 6

They drove to the airport and flew to California to see Andy's parents. When they landed Andy drove them to his parent's house. It was 9:00 ES, but it was 6:00 on the pacific coast.

Andy's mom met them at the door.

'Hi Erin, I'm Andy's mom. Nice to meet you.' She said.

'Nice to meet you too.' Erin said.

'Come inside, won't you?' She said inviting them inside.

'You're just in time for dinner.' She said.

'We actually had dinner at Erin's mom's house,' Andy said. 'But that was three hours ago.'

After eating second dinner they went to bed. The next day Andy showed Erin around his old neighborhood. Then they walked on the beach and watched the sunset.

'Erin, I know we've only been dating for 7 months, but I feel that this is the right time to do this.' Andy said and then he got on one knee and proposed to her.

'Yes!' Erin said. 'Yes of course I'll marry you, I love you!'

When Andy told his mom she was ecstatic.

'Oh my God!!!' She screamed. 'George! Georgey your son is getting married!'

'What?' His dad called down the hallway. 'Andy? Is getting married? I got to see this. What was it, one of those mail order brides?' He entered the room. 

'No, I'm not.' Erin said smiling.

'Well, Andy, congratulations.' George said.

Erin flew back to NJ for Christmas with her moms.

'Guess what?' She said when she arrived. She showed them her hand with the sparkling diamond ring residing on her left ring finger.

'Oh my God!' Kira screamed. 'That nice little boy is going to marry you! Amanda, do you see the size of that diamond?'

'When's the wedding?' Amanda asked.

'I don't know, May?' Erin suggested.

'May is a beautiful month.' Kira said. 'Where are you going to get married? Here or out in California?'

'I don't know!' Erin said.

The next day Erin was sitting in her room thinking about everything that had happened. She decided to call Bill and tell him.

'Hi.' She said.

'Hi, how are you?' Bill asked.

'Absolutely wonderful! Guess what?' Erin said. 'I'm getting married!'

'You and Andy are getting married!' Bill said. 'But, you're only 18!'

'I know, and Andy's 30, but that doesn't make a difference.

'Well, congratulations and have a merry Christmas.'

'And the same to you.'

On Christmas Erin decided to call Andy, even though he is Jewish.

'Merry Christmas!' She said.

'I can't believe we're getting married.' Andy said.

'Um, my mom decided we're getting married in May. And she wants to meet your family.'

'May is nice. My parents wanted to meet your moms too. They were thinking of flying back with me.'

'Cool. Are they okay with, you know, my moms being gay?'

'Yeah, yeah it's cool with them.'

'Good, I wouldn't want any awkwardness.'

'Um, it's actually like 5:00 in the morning, can I call you back?'
