Parents not meeting before wedding

My mom and dad knew my MIL before the wedding (DH and I met in highschool, so we had plenty of time to get to know the parent he lived with), but I don't think either of them met FIL before the Big Day, since he lived in NY and we lived in CA.

Really, it's not a big deal-- your mom's not marrying his mom, you're marrying him. If they haven't met yet, chances are they will only meet at the wedding, *maybe* sometime around the birth or highschool graduation of any grandchildren.

And what are they going to do if they *don't* like each other? Try to get you to call off the wedding?

Ours won't meet until the Rehearsal. My parents live in the mid-west so the opportunity isn't there. It's not important to me if they get along...it's not about them...it's about OUR marriage. :o)

Ours won't meet until the rehearsal and that's fine by me.

My parents are elderly, unwell, and living in south Florida. His parents are in Pennsylvania. There's just not a chance for them to meet. My parents really can't travel, and I'm not even sure how they are going to manage to get here for the wedding.

Getting nervous about this as we'll my parents live in Florida and haven't me his either

Our parents have never met and we live in the same metro area. Dad has been sick for a year and his parents are polar opposite of him. It will be interesting, and will happen in next few months I guess.

This would stress me out. Our families vacation together and only know each other because their children are together.

I've only met my FBIL. FH has only met my brother and his family. We live in Atlanta, my mom and dad live in Michigan, and his family lives in Wichita, KS. My mom is coming to Atlanta in July and will meet FH for the first time. We're going to KS in September so I can meet his family. The parents won't meet until the wedding or the day before. We're cool with it. My mom's not stressing about it. As long as FH is good to me, that's what she cares the most about.

Our parents live within a half hour of each other and FH and I have been together for over 7 years but his parents have never met my dad and step mom and they probably won't until the rehearsal. They have met my mom and step dad and been to each others houses for parties and such though.

My mom met FH's mom once for like 10 minutes before we were dating, she hasn't met her since and nor the rest of his family or his father. My mom lives in Louisiana, his mom lives here and his dad lives in Rhode Island, I'm not even sure they will ever meet because my mom and family aren't coming to the wedding. And only FH's mom and grandparents are coming to the wedding.

Our parents have never met each other and probably won't until a few days before the wedding. My parents are in GA and FH's parents are in CO. We thought they were going to meet last summer, but it didn't work out. (FH's mom was planning a trip to GA to see her brother and would meet my parents as well, but the trip got cancelled)

I think the mom's have emailed a little bit. I know my mom is really nervous. My FH's parents are really well traveled and have lived in many different countries and my Parents are still in the house I grew up in. It will be and interesting mix when we all do meet.

My FH's father has never met my family. He'll probably meet them for the first time when/if he comes to the rehearsal. They haven't met before due to the distance between where they live and everyone's perfectly friendly, so I don't think there will be any issues. I'm not worried about it and neither is my family.

My parents met my mil when she showed up at the ceremony. It was all good. We didn't have a rehearsal, and the day after the wedding, his family did sightseeing and my parents relaxed at home. It was nbd. They don't keep in touch at all. We live across the country from my mil. I think it's a little different when the families live near each other.

Our families will meet on THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!!! Lol! My FH and I live in Germany, his parents also live in Germany and mine live in Canada. There was no chance of them to meet beforehand. They will definitely get to know each other better after the wedding...

Our 3 sets of parents (mine are divorced) all live 10 minutes away from each other and have never met At this point I don't know that they'll be meeting before the wedding (and we're not having a rehearsal). It hasn't been on purpose, just hasn't happened.

DD gets married next Saturday, I have never met his family. What I do know is that they are kind and cordial to her and very welcoming. That is all I need to know, BUT....I am really excited to meet his mom next Friday!

Ours won't meet before the wedding, maybe the day of. FH's mom is a truck driver and she's only in town 2 times a year and when she is it's a 45 minute drive.

They've talked on the phone, but never met in person. I've tried to have them meet when my mother was visiting (she lives in CT, we all live down in PA) but she's always thrown an infant fit about it, so they never have. But from speaking on the phone my FILs can't stand my mother (and the way she acts, I'm not all that shocked)

My mom lives in Vancouver, my dad in shanghai and FH's parents in DC. They won't be meeting until a few days before the wedding, or maybe even at the rehearsal dinner. Not like they're going to hate each other, or even if they do it's not gonna affect your wedding plans.

I know this is so old but I was looking for a situation similar to mine this week and here I am! 2022 getting married satturday. Mom lives in North Carolina and Fiancé family in San Diego. Financially could never set up an official meet for my mom and fiancé they are meeting today. Wish me luck!
