Gordon and Betty Jean accepting Camille as their daughter-in-law
In Big Fat Alien Wedding, his son Joel became engaged to a Lenopan named Camille Mann (a union which would put an end to a decades-long feud between the Lenopans and the Plumbers). Both he and his wife were against the wedding at first (due to Camille being a Lenopan), but later realized they had treated her unfairly and apologized, accepting Camille as their daughter-in-law.
