We had a family gathering on 11, Saturday, for my BF to meet my grandma and uncle's family.
I could tell everyone was a bit nervous because there was an tall, big American guy who totally looked like a foreigner( well, duh
.)
My grandma had a bit of anxiety about me getting married with an American guy.
It was just unavoidable feeling for her because, well you know, she experienced WW2
.
Also she has very high pride of herself.
She lives in Yokosuka, so if she says her grandchild's BF is American, it is very natural for people to think he belongs to Navy even though he doesnt.
Because of her experience of WW2 and also, I am very afraid to say this but...., some people in Yokosuka think ill of Navy, she couldnt help having some kind of uneaseness about my engagement with him.
I told him about her uneaseness before he met her.
He said he understood it very well.
When she saw him at first, she tried to avoid to see him
.
But when we sat around a table and had a chat together, her uneaseness melted and she had a really good impression about him. 
She even talked to him directly and asked questions!!
I know he looks very agreeable and amiable, but I think not only that, but also he tried to speak Japanese.
It certainly made her feel better.
That alien didnt speak unknown language! (LOL)
After the meeting, she said to my mom that he looked very nice and she was so happy for us
.
I'm soooooooooooo glad that everyone in my family likes him
