Good morning everyone! Today is a 3-in-1 question lol

Today's question is..
When did you introduce your FH to your parents? when did FH introduce you to his? and how was it the first time both sets of parents met?

I introduced FH to my parents a few weeks after we started dating, I was a little nervous at first but they got along great! My FMIL was the one that set me and Brad up so I met her before him! And I met the rest of his family a few weeks after we started dating also. Both sets of parents, me and brad and our siblings all went to dinner together after we got engaged.. It was great! Both parents got along great.. My dad was cracking jokes the whole night which put me at ease because everyone seemed so comfortable with each other!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH introduced me to his mom first. Randomly in the driveway. I don't remember the first time I met his dad. He first met my mom and stepdad about 2 months in to us dating on Christmas. He didn't meet my dad until we were together for almost a year.

My mom and stepdad met his parents shortly after our engagement when my FSIL arranged a surprise congratulations dinner and she surprised me with my mom and stepdad at the house. Everything seemed to go well and everyone got along. We played Cards Against Humanity. lol

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

I was introduced to FMIL BEFORE I even met FH! I did the makeup for FBIL's wedding because I am college friends with his bride! FH and I didn't meet until later that night at the reception, which is where I met the rest of his ENTIRE family!

FH met my parents on our second date... he came inside and him and my dad would not stop talking. I'm pretty sure my mom finally kicked us out and reminded everyone that he came so we could go on a date haha

When my parents and FH's parents met for the first time you could tell everyone was nervous at first, but within the next 10 minutes we were having a blast! They get along REALLY well... always commenting that they feel like they've known each other for a long time! It's the best thing I could've asked for!!

Our third date we went into Coney island during the day then we were going to do dinner and a movie. My mom wanted to meet him first so we went back to my house before dinner. She would have been out of luck if I didn't live 10 minutes from Coney island. My mom has a sixth sense about people and she liked him right away. She had never liked a guy I dated before so it was a good sign.

The first time I met fhs parents was about a week and a half after that. The day we made it official and I almost killed Fh. When he introduced me to his mother I was standing there talking to her like nothing was wrong because I did not know that I had a large hickey on my neck. When I found out I punched him lol.
I don't think his dad noticed though.

The first time his parents met my mom(and my aunt Fannie, she's my dad's sister so she counts as his representative lol) we went to Hershey park for the weekend about 2 years into our relationship and they all got along so well. My mom and Fmil talk to eachother all the time.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH introduced me to his parents, and my fsil and fbil almost two years ago this month! It was my fsil's birthday, and he asked me to come over for cake and to meet all of them. I loved them from the moment I met them and felt so at home!
The first time he met my mom was..again, almost two years ago this month. This time it was on MY birthday. He came over for cake (I never realized this was how it went both times, haha.) He met my WHOLE italian family all at once. They taunted him a bit because he was wearing a Mets shirt and they're all Yankees fans. Either way, they loved him and still do.
I don't quite remember him meeting my dad, but I remember how excited I was that my dad finally liked a guy I was dating!


When his parents met my mom, my mom invited them over for dinner. When they met my dad, it was when he asked to propose! I'm happy they liked each other ; )

edited to add parents meeting!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH met my parents about 2 months into our relationship. We were going out to dinner, and my parents were at the same restaurant! We ended up all together and had dinner- they got along GREAT and to this day the 4 of us go to dinner at that same restaurant.

I met FHs parents shortly after him meeting my parents. FH brought me as his date to his Christmas party for work, and that's when I met his entire family.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH and I met each others' parents when we were still friends and went to the prom together. Our families met up at FH's house so we could take pictures. I guess it was really meant to be because our parents got along really well even before we started officially dating!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH met my mom when he picked me up for our first date and my dad a couple of weeks later. I met his mom a week after that and his dad a couple of weeks after THAT (very staggered, lol). Our parents met each other in an unfortunate setting as his sister was in the hospital at the time, but every subsequent time they've met, everybody has always gotten along.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

such an awesome question!

FH first met my parents at a birthday celebration for me, my mom and my grandfather. (my mother and I share our birthday and my grandfather is a week after) it was nice because my younger brother also brought his new girlfriend :) my family is so easy to get along with and it was a great time.

I met FH's parents much earlier because his father worked with us and his mother was SOO interested in meeting me she came by to his house one evening when we were just making dinner and watching a movie. She doesn't speak too much english but it was the sweetest meeting ever! she kept calling me 'muneca' which means doll in spanish and she kept telling me how she loves to dance and kept saying 'Welcome to the family!' :)

our parents (and grand parents met) at Easter one year and then again a few months later when FH's grand parent's were visiting from Colombia for the first time! It was such a beautiful day!!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

FH met my parents when he came to our house for dinner after our 2nd date. I met FH's parents right before our 3rd date.

With both parents everything was fine - besides the normal nerves lol

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

We began dating in high school but they came in contact all the time since we couldn't drive back then and always needed rides!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

He met my parents when I had to help them with something and we were hanging out that day so he came with. I met his mom cause she invited us over for dinner. I met the rest of his family at a bbq months later. Only met his dad and dad's side once at a funeral which was pretty awkward and I haven't seen them since lol. His mom came over for Christmas eve at my parents. The first time they will all meet is our engagement party.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

I met FH's parents the first time I believe it was Christmas 10'. We went over there to celebrate on Christmas Eve and they were nice! We got along well and I am pretty sure they liked me for Kevin. FH's mother has since passed away and FH's father told me that she had told him she knew our relationship was headed to marriage and she approved of me for him and was very happy he found me. It meant so much to me. I wish she was still around but I cherish the time I did have with her. His father and I have become very close.

I don't remember exactly when FH met my parents because I lived in SI and he lived on LI so he came sporadically in the beginning and then met my parents and then over time would spend the weekends. When they did meet I know my parents were immediately in love with him. They thought he was perfect for me and was so happy that he treated me like a princess. They knew he would always take care of me and were so happy.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

Since we weren't officially dating for more than a year after we met, we both met each others parents just by hanging out at the other ones house. No grand introductions (I know, great story. You're welcome everyone lol).

When our parents met, it was sort of by accident. They visited the restaurant we worked at the time at the same time. So we introduced them, only to have his mom refer to the woman sitting next to her at the bar as 'this b*tch', which my mom thought was directed at her. Lol. Needless to say, they didnt meet again until about 6 years later when I invited my in laws to spend a Jewish holiday with my family bc they didn't have any other plans. That went much better than the first time.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

We met each other's parents on the same night! It was a few weeks into dating, and FH pretty much was like 'might as well do this now'. He took me to his parents house and thats when I met FMIL and FFIL - his siblings I had already met. They loved me from the moment they met me. I then told FH that I might as well do the same, and we stopped by my parents house and they met. Maybe we secretly both know that this was special :)

Our parents met each other maybe 1.5 years into dating. FH and I were already living together at this time, and we were talking about weddings and stuff. We all went out for breakfast. It went well in my eyes, but boy was I nervous!!

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

Our parents haven't met yet actually. They don't seem to have any intention to either and we only live 15 minutes from each other.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

I introduced FH to my mom for thanksgiving dinner a month after we told her that we were seeing each other. I haven't met FH mom physically but we spoke on the phone all the time but funny my mom and my sister met her already... I'm planning on travel to go see her before the wedding.

~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

I don't remember when he met my parents. I remember meeting his mom... he just brought me over there for dinner a few months into dating. A week later I went to FSIL's for dinner to meet everyone else.

Re: ~~~**QOTD 4/9/13**~~~

This is such a great question!

The first time I met FH's parents was RIDICULOUS. Let me set the scene: It was our fourth date and we were out to dinner at a nice restaurant. One of my girlfriends texts me that her and my other girlfriends are going to a ladies night at the bench in Stony Brook and that we should come because they all wanted to meet him. He said sure lets go and off we went. I was already tipsy after two martinis so I didn't want to drink anymore and instead I just kept giving my drinks to FH while I was chugging water. After a couple of hours he felt like he couldn't drive. He wasn't falling down, slurring his words drunk or anything, but he is always super cautious about these things (as we all should be) so I told him I'd drive him home and stay the night (wether or not these were my intentions the whole time will die with me ) When I first met FH he was still living at home with his parents, no big deal I thought, I'm fairly light footed and can certainly make it into a bedroom without anyone hearing me. Of course once we were IN the bedroom and starting talking and giggling we woke up his dad who was NOT happy The next morning I had to face his dad who found the whole thing very funny, his parents still joke about it. I met his mom a few days after that when we all went to dinner.

*just a little disclaimer about this story: this is also the night of our first kiss

He met my mom not long after we started dating, she loved him right away (everyone does) and I actually don't remember the first time he met my dad, but my dad loves him too.

My dad and FFIL are basically in love with each other and have a bromance. I was nervous when everyone met but they all got along right away so that definitely put me at ease.
