* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': Jondalar is finally able to introduce his lover and bride-to-be Ayla to his family in the fifth book, something both of them have been anticipating and worrying about for a number of years (the couple first met and got together about two years earlier when Jondalar was on an extended vacation, and had to walk all the way across Europe to reach Jondalar's homeland), especially as they may not react well to Ayla being raised by the Clan (Jondalar's people tend to be prejudiced against the Clan and believe them to be dumb animals). Fortunately, although his family are surprised to learn of Ayla's origins, they're not put-off by it and quickly warm up to her.

A tense moment in any relationship is the moment of meeting your future in laws, or introducing your love interest to your parents for the first time as the opinions of parents are powerful things. In many cultures, this is obligatory as a form of knowing and being close to each other's families. Everyone wants to make a good first impression in the face of possible disapproval and for this reason can be played for laughs or drama. See also: MeetingTheParentsSequel
