I'm getting married in just over 2 months. I have 2 almost seven year old cats (littermates - one female, one male) that are a bit "high strung", especially the female. The groom-to-be has an early teens cat (female) that he "inherited" from his brother less than a year ago b/c she couldn't handle their new baby. She is VERY timid (generally hides under the bed, in closets, etc. when people are around). It took her several months to warm up enough to emerge from under the bed when she came, and even now, one good loud noise is enough to send her back.

Since I'm not moving in with him until after the wedding, and we will be gone for the first week after on our honeymoon... how do we introduce these 3 without coming home from our honeymoon to find nothing but three piles of fur? (I will still have my house for a month after the wedding.)
