Eventhough FH and I know one another since the 6th grade and were always friends, our parents never met. We have lived together for the past 4 years and they still haven't met...well, I threw a surprise 30th bday for FH back in July and my parents came for a few hours, but it wasn't the time or place for them to actually 'meet'
I set up a dinner for all of us on April 4th. I made sure the restuarant had a bar, so we can have drinks beforehand. Everyone is excited to meet, but FH is all nervous, not sure why because all of our planning has been going great and there are no complaints on either end. Our mothers have spoken on the phone and through email. FH has nothing to worry about... I'm very lucky that I will have a great FMIL and great FSIL...
Is anyone else going through this?

Re: Parents Meeting
It took over 6 years for our parents to finally meet... but they did and it all went over very well! they will manage to find something in common to talk about... its human nature
ETA: I was nervous too at first b/c my parents are like the equivalent of the 'fockers' and fh's arent exactly that way but it all went well

Re: Parents Meeting
FH and me have been together for TWELVE AND A HALF YEARS and our parents have never met!!!
Can you believe it???
We're planning an engagement party BBQ for early summer so they can meet.
I'm not exactly nervous about them meeting. The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is that FH has really been welcomed into my family, but the same hasn't been said about me and his family. Don't get me wrong, no one is mean or rude to me, but I'm definitely not one of the family.
And my mother is one to hold grudge and I think she's still pretty ticked off that when I was first diagnosed with cancer, FH's parents didn't send me any kind of get well wishes.

Re: Parents Meeting
our parents officially met once we got engaged but they knew each other previously, like hello and goodbye once or twice. Our families are very similar so it went smoothly, we were both kinda nervous at our engagement party bc our families were meeting but everything went great

Re: Parents Meeting
We had our moms meet first, separately, and very casually, because we felt like they had more in common. Then we had my birthday, so we had everyone come to that!

Re: Parents Meeting
FH and I have been together for almost 4 years and our parents have never met. That is because I fh when I was in college in Providence and he lived in Boston and so did his mom.
Now his mom and his dad both live in Greece so they probably will not meet until the rehersal dinner!

Re: Parents Meeting
We went out to dinner last month with our parents and siblings so everyone could finally meet. They hadn't met in the 4+ years we'd dated. We were both really nervous but it was totally fine and everyone got along.
