Honeymoon with Parents?!?

I overheard the most interesting piece of a conversation the other day. I was on hold with my mechanic, and I could hear him and his wife talking to a customer who'd just come in the shop. I was getting annoyed because both of them were chatting with this guy, and I was pretty sure one of them could be talking to me. I hear them ask the customer how he's been. "Oh, great," this man says. "My son just got married and we actually just got back from the honeymoon--we went with them."

Um. This is unacceptable. Whoever thought this was OK?! How did this happen? I would like to hear from anyone who's experienced something similar. Does everyone agree that this is nuts and counter-intuitive to what celebrating a new marriage is all about? ie: the couple!

Nightmare!
