they were thrilled. Both his sisters called about 15 minutes after he did it to say 'congrat sister in law' and we went to his parents house where all his siblings were waiting w/ champagne and food and cake.

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
we dont think his mom is too happy about it. shes a single mom with two boys. his older brother moved out last year and now hes leaving so shes scared of being alone although she has her father but hes already 80something years old. she makes remarks all the time about how her sons are gonna forget about her. i feel bad.

His parents knew beforehand as they went with him to get the ring, my parents were very excited and mom cried. Everyone figured it was just a matter of time and were very excited when it finally happened

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
He asked my parents on X-Mas eve for their permission and they were so happy and excited...they love him. But never bothered to tell his mother that he was going to ask me. So he called his mom the day after and said.....'I'm getting married on 8/8/08..what do you think?' Her response was 'Don't you think its a bit too soon?' Followed by 'Well August is soo far away, things could change by then.'
CAN I ADD I AM SOO HAPPY ABOUT HAVING HER AS MY FMIL AND ABOUT GOING TO HER HOUSE FOR DINNER TONIGHT!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~Smell the Sarcasm~~~~~~

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
Crappy!
My mom and friends were excited. His friends seemed excited.
My dad nearly passed out with fear.
His loser dad actually said, 'That's going to last.' Meanwhile we've been together almost 6 years???
His mom keeps saying negative things as well meanwhile her famous line before we got engaged was, 'When are you two going to get married already?' and 'when you guys get engaged, I'm throwing a party at the Manor.'... now it's 'I'm just not excited about this wedding.'

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
My mom cried on the phone when i called to tell her. We were in Italy when it happened so he had shown my parents the ring before, they knew before i did.
FH's parents were italy with us.... after he asked me i looked at their window of the hotel room and saw their heads in the window peeking on us to see!!!
it was cute everyone was really happy.

they were all very happy. his mom and uncle knew it was coming bc they helped him out a bit.
That's exactly how it was for us too..his mom and his uncle are a big part of FHs life, so his uncle went ring shopping with him and his mom had to help set up for the night he was going to ask me...it was awesome. They love me!!! but then again who doesnt

They were so happy. They were waiting by the phone while we were in Disneyworld because they knew he was proposing. Everytime we called they were so anything else new. It was so funny. Even though they knew they still screamed on the phone when we told them.

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
his parents were really happy for us.. of course they thought we were a bit young but respected his decision..
my family on the other hand were sadly indifferent.. I have a really subborn family..
Me sister was not for it.. she thought we were too young and werent ready.. she got married at my age and I somewhat understand.. BUT everyone is different... I was soooo upset my FH and I fought everyday for like a week because of my sister.. then I had a serious talk with my sister(because shes like my mother) and she told me I should wait 2 years before getting married O.O
I called my brother he was happy but not excited for me.. he asked me if i was sure he was the one.. (he was just worried) but he said hes happy
I called my mother (who lives in korea) and she was happy BUTT my mother hasnt been in my live for about 10-20 years... I dont know if I really consider her my mother........
I am sure my father would have been happy if he were still around...
now everything is well.. my sister pulled back and is helping me plan my wedding.

Happy happy happy! They knew it was happening though. FH went to their house, asked 'permission' and then came home and popped the question.
His parents were very happy too. His sister's especially because we get along so well. And now, I'm helping his twin sister plan her wedding!

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
She already knew beforehand b/c she went w/ FH to the jewelers to put the ring together and did a lot of the work alone as he travels for work often but she didn't know when he was going to do it. When we called her after he proposed she was UBER excited...she's been at him for about 4 years to do it..lol.
He asked my parents, bro, sis and even told all our friends before so they also knew. He says my dad just kept shaking his hand saying he was glad he did it the right way and asked him (he hated us 'living in 'sin' '

Re: How did FH's family/parents react?
Well FH asked my parents permission before hand so they were waiting for the call...but since we are young when FH asked my dad my dad gave gim the 21 questions and gave him a serious talk about marriage and what it is and means (my parents have been married for 27 yrs so i guess it is good hearing ti from my dad) but i felt bad for FH when he told me my dad had him sitting there fro and hour and 1/2. but fh said he was so thankful because it made him realize he was making such a great decision in asking me and he wanted to be just like my parents when we are married we will see about that one
but my parents were excited after getting over that we are young..but i will be 23 when married and fh 22 and my parents were 21 and 22 when married. so htey understand
FH's family were excited but kinda acted as if they had no clue it was happening even though fh told them before hand. fbil and his wife were excited enough for the rest of his family and ery supportive. his dad thinks everyone should wiat until they are 30 to get married so it was kinda hard for him lol but now i know they are happy we are...i think his mom is just jealous that once he comes home for good he will be my husband and not her little boy anymore!!
