So there are three possible routes to go with the families:1)  they know each other, get along well, and are pleased with the potential marriage. In this case, its more a problem of the unwise brother not blurting out things the parents would rather not know - like "oh, but Dad, I don't need the birds and the bees lecture...". 2) the families know each other but there is some feud/argument between them (perhaps it came up while the PCs were gone as one family blamed the other for some difficulty brought on by the party's actions). So not only is the marriage frowned on, but someone may be openly trying to sabotage the relationship.3) the families know OF each other, but don't know each other very well. Perhaps they are of significantly different social statuses, or different religions or cultural groups. This could cause all sorts of minor problems, as one group doesn't follow the norms of the other.Once you pick your options, you can start to see some of the likely problems develop from there.</blockquote>
