When did your parents meet your future in laws?

Future Mrs. N, on April 2, 2013 at 10:53 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 73

Just curious if people made a big to do about this and had them meet long before the wedding or at reception dinner?

    Our parents haven't met yet! We've been engaged since October and only have 4 months left before the wedding. I wanted them to meet months ago but his parents always have excuses. I guess at this point they'll meet at the rehearsal dinner.

    Me and my H have been together for a while before he proposed.. My parents met my in-laws at my college graduation.. We all went to Jaspers for brunch and they met there for the first real time.. It was awkward at first but it turned out to be a good day..

    My mom and stepdad met my DH parents at my DH college grad dinner his parents hosted about 5 years ago, i don't know when my dad and stepmom met them, I think it was probably at the birth of my daughter, I can't recall if they had met prior to that, and that was 2 Januarys ago

    We've been together 8 years and they still haven't met. We don't get to see our parents often.

    Me and df have been together for 2 years, our parents haven't met. I was going to try to arrange something but then my mom went in for surgery and now me and my dad aren't talking so we'll see if it happens before the wedding. At this rate probably not, which surprisingly I'm ok with

    I met my daughters FMIL far too soon. ;-) We are from two VERY different worlds. She is from a "hard and tumble" background. I am from an upper class background. This became an issue as she decided to trash me on FB. Oy! It is not my fault that she had a rough life. This is an entirely different subject. ;-)

    Anywho, I met his Mom about a year after they started dating and seven months before the wedding. Haven't had any interaction with her since the July 2010 wedding and hope never to have contact again.

    Our parents met last fall, I think. Low key, casual lunch at olive garden.

    They met after our first date. We were still in high school, so his mother gave us both a ride home. Lol

    My mom met his parents 2 years ago. They get along wonderfully and we often spend time all together which helps with holidays lol. My dad has not met his parents and won't until we all get up there for the wedding.

    My parents met FH's mom when she dropped him off for us to go to a high school dance.I don't think that they have met FH's dad. he is not a big part of FH's life. i guess they will meet him at the wedding.

    We've been together for almost 2.5 years & our parents met in September last by pure coincidence. FH and I were out in Missouri visiting his family, and my parents were on a road trip driving Historic Route 66.

    They made their plans way before we did, and it ended up that they just happened to be driving through FH's small hometown the same day we were there! We all had lunch, and spent a few hours together. It was actually fun!
