Introducing a partner to family is a rite of passage that can go smoothly or sideways. Rank these classic British scenarios from least to most anxiety-inducing.
Put the items in your preferred order.
The Sunday roast at their parents' house
Three courses, four generations, and everyone watching how you hold your cutlery. One wrong word about the gravy and you're finished.

The pub trip with their dad
A pint at the local with just you and their father, who communicates mainly through nods and comments about the match on the telly.

The big family wedding
Aunts, uncles, and cousins you've never met, all sizing you up between speeches. Expect to be quizzed on your intentions by round three of the free bar.

Christmas Day with the in-laws
Staying overnight, sharing a bathroom, and watching the King's Speech in silence with people you barely know. There is no escape until Boxing Day.

The surprise drop-in visit
Their mum appears unannounced while you're mid-argument in trackies. First impressions have never felt so brutally out of your control.
