Re: Uh oh...The INLAWS are about to meet...
dont worry diane - my parents and anthony's parents are complete opposites too
you know my parents - they are older and traditional
anthony's parents are really young and laid back
they get along great - unfortunately they always manage to talk about what horrible kids they have but at least they talk!!
your parents are awesome i am sure they will put everyone at ease
good luck and keep me posted!
* advice . . maybe bring more family like brothers and sisters . . . might make it more comfortable!

Diane you are going to be just fine.
And trust me..while mothers will be total opposites..in a setting like this....they will try and loosen up..both of them....it'll level out.
Most importantly...its about you two..just remember that. They are all gonna get along just swell....
And like said above...a little vino never hurt anyone

I was in the same situation.. I was freaking out but it'll go much better than you're expecting. My advice is alcohol helps like everyone said, and bring someone else along who's good with conversation so there's never an awkward moment.

Oh my!!! I feel your pain. I about had a litter of kittens when my dad met FH's parents. It ended up being just fine. They got along really well. Good Luck!!!!

at least your parents will be speaking the same language. FH and I can't wait for our parents to meet, we will translating all night long, so we can change everything they said
