Anyone got families that have never met? My side and my partners side have never met non of them! So it will literally be 2 families being stuck together and hoping they all get on and like each other,more nervous about this than about saying my vows!
CommentAuthorSusie
SAME HERE!
Dave has met all of my family, and I have met all of his.... they however have never met any of each other and wont do until the big day itself haha. Im not worried at all .... *deep breaths into a paper bag* lol
CommentAuthorHelainaH
I guess it depends on how friendly your family, and your OH's family are.
My parents had not met my husband's mum before the wedding, but had met his dad and step mum. It went well, as my mam is quite a talker, so there was never any awkward silence.
I hope it all works out for you x
CommentAuthorSandyG83
my family haven't met my H2B family and are very unlikely to until the wedding day. im am nervous about it but im trying not to think to much about it or i wont enjoy my day. is there no way you could maybe arrange a family meal before hand?
CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
We did a meet up before the wedding. My mum was visiting my Godmother who doesn't live too far from hubby's parents, so we went for a nice pub lunch. We each asked our respective mothers to bring with them what they were making for the wedding, which was a nice talking point.
Susie hand that paper bag over here lol I don't think a meal would be a good idea to be honest I don't really want them to even meet lol,my h2bs family are split into mum side/dad side as sperated and in really close to his dads side however not to mils. Lets hope they all do smiley faces and pretend they all get on just for the day :) I'm also worried about having his mum and dad there they split around 15years ago on bad terms but it's like a family war,I might have to substitute that side of the family with plastic knives and forks so they can't hurt each other haha xx
CommentAuthorSandyG83
oh dear doesn't sound like fun. fingers crossed they all smile and be polite at least for you xx my family wont be meeting H2b before as his mum and step dad live and France and his dad and step mum live in Indonesia. i have met his dad but not step mum and Ive met his mum and step dad and all his sister all at the same time was a little daunting but luckily they all seem to have the same kinda humor and easy going kinda attitude as most of my family.

Lol by the confused face Lana2bmrshands are we to assume you like your ohs family or not? And least they have an excuse sandy with living far away! I have probs only seen mil 3 times in over 5 years(that's the way I like it) she's a horrid woman lol x
CommentAuthorMrsRobson2Be
My mum has met OH's immediate family so his mum & dad, their kids & grandkids, she has also met 1 uncle, his wife & kids. My dad & stepmum have met OH's dad. OH's immediate family have also met my brothers. Everyone got along well, my family are from portsmouth & OH's family Southampton so the main subject upon meeting was joking about the football rivalry between the 2 cities. We will be decorating the venue the day before so that will give my dad & stepmum a chance to meet OH's family, as most of our immediate families will be helping. If we can spare the cash nearer the time, we would also like to take everyone that plays a role in the church rehearsal out for a meal together.

After 8 years together our families had never met.. Until my hendo when hubby's sisters met my sisters although I'm sure they never really talked that night and the night before the wedding hubby went to the casino with his brother, best man, brother in law and my brother ( who gave me away) then of course they all met on the big day and it went very well... My brother went down a hit with his family (his a bit of a show off & everyone loves him) and hubby's oldest sister was the hit for my family lol never met again and can't see a time that they will be in a room together again.
CommentAuthorVictoriaB
Ohhh Nadia that's what I'm hoping for a nice happy ending lol x
CommentAuthorLauraY27
We've lived together for two years and our parents etc have never met. Although they hear a lot about each other.
We're planning on holding a BBQ next year for parents and grandparents to meet for the first time. I hope it won't be awkward as h2bs family are quite posh and well to do, his dad lives in a half a million pound house in the nicest village in kent. And mine aren't in the slightest bit posh. We're from completely different worlds!

Laura I know lots of people with money if fact our friends have a 450k house ... Lots of land n they are the nicest down to earth people you could ever hope to meet ( she made our cake as a gift ) equally I know people with very little money who are the most up them selves ****** ..... It's the people them selfs not the money they have that counts ...
Remember that they all have something in common they love you and h2b

I'm so glad mine and oh parents have met, although they are the only ones who have as our family's live 200 miles apart. My parents Are not religious at all and my dad often speaks without thinking and oh parents are quite religious so we were worried bout the first meeting but they get on brilliant, so much so our mums text each other and they all swop Xmas and birthday gifts. I still remember the first meeting it was at our house and Shane's mum was talking in a really posh "telephone" voice and shane turned to her and said what on earth has happened to your voice mum! We all fell about laughing.
I hope it all goes well for you x
CommentAuthorLauraY27
Oh I know that. His parents and their partners are all really lovely people!! I get along with them all so well. They speak highly of my parents and say how well they've bought me up etc.
It's like a bit of a Cinderella moment, the two most unlikely people to ever fall in love. But his parents know where I've come from and are so happy that it's me that toms marrying. They couldn't be happy. And I know my parents will love them.x
CommentAuthorclairenina
None of our families have met each other at all, and won't do until our wedding day. Will probably be the only time they will ever meet.
CommentAuthorInDreamland
We got my parents and hubby's dad and girlfriend to meet when we were finalising the reception venue booking, it was an informal way of them meeting whilst seeing the venue we wanted their okay on.
SIL tried to arrange for her and my parents to meet before the wedding but we couldn't arrange it as no time xx
Married the love of my life on Saturday 11th May 2013 xxx

CommentAuthor*KelBel*
Mine met at our engagement party and my in laws know my dad better because he's been on mine and the kids birthday meals and the in laws have too so it's not too awkward there ... My mum doesn't make as much effort as she works late so I'm not sure how that will work

My parents met h2b's parents when we went to play bingo haha! They seem to get on well which is a good thing I guess !
CommentAuthorVictoriaB
Well with onmy 3months to go and Christmas and new year in the way I doubt there will be anytime to do a family meal get together or whatever so they'll all just have to leave it until the day and just hope they're all polite enough to at least pretend they get on even if they don't lol x
CommentAuthorMrsL2be
Our families haven't met yet and this is going to be an eye opener as one family is very loud and outgoing and the other quite reserved so should be fun lol. Xxx
CommentAuthorAnnabelleV
As long as both your families are friendly, it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you have some odd uncle or distant cousin who's a bit "different," things might get interesting LOL
CommentAuthorKatya
the first time our families met, our son was 6 days old, we had just left the hospital, we lived near his family but gave birth near mine & we were not allowed to go home, we were only allowed to go as far as my mums (7 miles from hospital as apposed to 45ish miles away), so the day we were allowed out h2b's family came to my mums to meet their first grandson. over the years they have met my grandparents (who are not sure of them), my mum (who dislikes them alot), my brother & sister who have not expressed an opinion of them. but other than that, they have not met but over all my family have the same bad opinion of in laws as i do.... oh well i have been given their sons virtue, created 2 kids that they were not happy about & now have moved everyone away from them... h2b likes ths as much as i do lol
Find out who you are & do it on purpose!

My mum has met my future sil as we have all went to wedding fairs and when we went dress shopping and they all get on great x
