How did your parents meet each other?

My parents are divorced so my dad met his parents when we were dating maybe after a year or so but haven't seen each other since then. And my mom met them after we were engaged. We took the mom's to see the venues we booked for the wedding and then did lunch. Try to plan a dinner halfway in between everyone if you can fit it in. If not then they will meet at the wedding

My mom went to school with his dad. But neither remembers the other. They sorta met in passing when they were all helping us move. But they haven't formally met and we've been together over 7 years.

Ours actually met when we were kids, and both of our dads coached our tee ball team. We didn't grow up together, though, and met as adults in 2012. Our parents "met" again at my college graduation party, which was shortly after FH and I started dating. Now we have Christmas Eve all together. Our parents live 5 mins from each other which is so nice.

ETA: Both of our families are very involved in our lives, and we both lived at home when we started dating. I don't think it's *that* important for them to meet or have a relationship before you get married.

I am from a small town so my parents knew FH's dad since they were teenagers. My mom also knew FH's mom the same way. My dad has met FH's mom in passing at a local town event before FH and I had even started dating. Gotta love small towns. Oh, you're so & so's son, yeah I use to play music with your grandpa. That was basically the general conversation when my parents met my FH.

My parents aren't social butterflies so the way my parents met the FILs was different than your typical dinner meeting. They met while we were still dating (not yet engaged). My FFIL is a CPA and my parents had questions for him regarding taxes, so that's how they met. My parents came over with a basket of fruits and roasted pork to thank them for answering their questions. They all clicked really well, so I was thankful for that.

Thanks guys! This makes me feel a lot better, I felt I was way behind on getting everyone together. FH's family (parents, brother, grandparents, and some aunts and uncles) have already met my younger sister so at least that is out of the way

They keep asking me about when they're going to meet each other, and I like the idea of having everyone over for dinner. My parents are divorced and my mom is not remarried so maybe doing a girls day with the moms and getting brunch or something would be good.

My Step mom and In laws will be meeting in two weeks! We live in Chicago and my parents live in Nashville so my mom and sisters are making a trip up here to help me plan! My dad can't come out until probably the weekend of the wedding but I'm not worried about it at all!

My mom and I flew out to KS to look at venues so she met them during that time. My dad met them when they came to visit D.C. We all just went out to dinner

They all just met about 2 weeks ago. My parents are retired so they've been traveling wherever they want and decided to stop in my FH's home town. We set up meeting times and locations for them through the phone and it all went surprisingly well without either of us there! My dad went from "we're not staying long, just want to say hello" to staying the night and sightseeing with his mom and step dad the next day.

My mom and his mom were in the same homeroom all four years of high school. Since we began dating they've all met at our son's birthday parties over the years, and we've all hung out a bit. My parents have not met H's biological father yet, though. He lives out of state and could not make our wedding day. They will meet at the vow renewal!

I can't remember how ours met. I'm sure it was at a family related event. FH and I have been together a very long time, almost 16 years. I am just happy that our parents all like each other. It really does make life easier.

My mother and FMIL met at a passion party I hosted. My father met my FMIL at her house when we had a family dinner. My ffil passed away before my parents could meet him.

Technically, my mom and his dad knew each other before either of us were born! His dad is a pilot and my mom was a flight attendant. Small world.

That aside, my FH and I actually met in high school (but didn't start dating until college). So our parents kind of knew each other back then since we were both in band and performed at football games. All four of them officially met shortly after our engagement and college graduation (the two events were a week apart) at a nice restaurant as a celebration.

Our parents "met" via skype, since they live 3000 miles away from each other. They send each other gifts through us for Christmas, and my mom will send little videos and pictures to me to send to them. It seems to be a good way for them to feel involved with each other, without it being a huge travel commitment

My mom and fmil know each other from bingo and I don't remember when our fathers met

My parents live over three hours away. We picked a Saturday that worked for everyone and they drove down and we had a late lunch/early dinner with H and his parents.

ETA: it was like a month before the wedding.

They haven't yet! We're a little sad because they were due to meet at the end of this month when my grandparents (who raised me) came into town for my older sister's wedding but due to serious health issues my grandpa is currently having and an upcoming surgery, they had to cancel.

Now it's looking like they probably won't be able to meet until our wedding day! Or the evening before, lol.

Our parents actually all went to college together (we didn't know that until I showed a picture of his family to my parents)

My parents met in high school!

Oh, I did not read the whole thing! haha I got our families to meet ( fh's mom and stepdad) at my brother's graduation from the air force. my family lived in so cal, and his in Houston. my brother's grad was in San antonio, so my fiancé and I flew from Oregon and we all met in San antonio!!!
