A little less than a year after her brother's scandalous marriage to Jinx, Caris brought home a boy she was sure her parents would approve of. And she was right. For the most part. Marc is sweet, kind, generous, and respectful. And the family does like him very much. Like Jinx, however, he as a hard time fitting in, though for different reasons. Marc's extreme shyness makes him uncomfortable in large group settings (read: every Mendelsson family event). He is working hard, on this, though. And has accepted dinner invitations with the parents alone or with the siblings one or two at a time (sometimes even without his wife by his side). Marc is a very talented writer with one book out that seems about to make the New York Times bestseller list. Caris and Mark got married the summer after Caris graduated from high school and have been married for a year now.
Though they are the firstborn of the parents, Zander and Cacey have never experienced being the oldest children and have feel none of the need to need-to-please-the-parents that their adoptive older siblings do. On for their 21st birthdays they treated each other to blind dates at Heart & Soul restaurant's Blind Date night. They each had to fill out a profile and were expertly matched with a dinner partners with whom they were compatible. The dinner was to be completely in the dark served by blind and VI waiters and was to be followed by a "movie experience" in the dark. By the time the event was over both twins had bonded with their respective dinner partners. Then the lights came on.
Zander had known from the beginning that his date, Beck-as she had introduced herself, was older than he was--she'd seen so much more of the world than he had. He didn't mind a bit of an age difference if she didn't though. He was incredibly attracted to her, even in the dark. Her voice, her laugh, her turn of phrase. The way she held his hand during the movie. He had already determined to ask her out. But then he saw her and knew instantly that he was out of his depth. She was a grown-up. She was magnificent. He was speechless.
Cacey had gotten along similarly well with Axel. Her brain was always moving fast and usually she kept her mouth racing to catch up. With Axel however, as with her twin brother, she found herself retreating into a companionable silence. She did not need to try to explain to him everything she was feeling and seeing; he understood her. When she saw him, she realized that she never would have picked him. He looked like the stereotypical engineer. Awkward and shy. But he was only hesitant in the light, she now knew, because he was self-conscious. She had already met the man inside and he was confident and charming and funny and wise and sweet. She wanted to keep him.
It took Zander a while to contemplate the possibility that he even could have Beck. Given the fact that she's the same age as his parents. But he called her and he courted her. And...10 months later, both couples got married in a family-sized double wedding.
