So finally my mum is meeting h2b mum and partner which is great but what if they dont get on? They are very different from each other so just meeting at my flat for tea and cake. I hope they dont just talk about the wedding because mil hasnt had anything to do with it yet so dont want her to feel left out! How did your familys meet?

my mum and matts mum are completely opposite but they are ok when they are together whether they just put up with each other for us i am not sure as they do not see alot of each other lucky if they have seen each other once a year lol i am sure they will be fine.
Ours mum met when we were at school together they both helped out at school so when we got together it was no suprise as we were only 13 so they already knew each other xx
Met Matt at 10 years old
Marrying him at 27 years old
I can't wait to be Mrs Eminson on the 8th June 2013

Our parents haven't met one another and will meet on our wedding day. They live 150 miles apart so we're not that fussed whether they get on or not!
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

hi, my family and my partners met in almost the same way. (h2b's family live in edinburgh and we're in newcastle so it took longer than usual to get them together) i was sooo nervous about it, they're nothing like eachother either, it's like they're from different worlds. it went really well though, they get on like best friends now, and my stepdad and h2b's dad are so similar which is great. phils mam didn't have much involvement in planning the wedding either, but she loves when we talk about it with her, so maybe yours will be the same! it'll be fine, don't worry about it :) x

Thanks for the replys. Im sure they will get on even if its just for show for us because at the end of the day they know thir child is marrying the right person!. They will hardly see each other living 100 miles apart so if they dont get on it doesnt matter. I feel abit for mil because she had 3 boys and out of all of the girlfriends i think im the only one who would let her help abit.
We were lucky really because my parents and husband's dad and step mum knew each other even before we knew lol.!!!
Hubby had lost contact with his dad after his parents divorced when he was a child. One night we got a phone call from my mum after my parents had been out at the local social club that they go to - and it turns out, by accident that they had been talking about surnames with another couple that they usually talked to. When the couple mentioned their surname, and that it was quite unusual, my mum commented that her daughter was marrying someone with that surname - and after talking more they realised that I was engaged to the other guy's son (my hubby).
It turns out that they had known them ages and even got an invite when they got married (hubby's dad and stepmum have only been married about a year longer than us). It was a positive thing in the long run because my parents mediated in husband and his dad meeting again after about 15 years.
Now we see them regularly and it was good to have some more guests at the wedding.

We picked h2b's parents up and took them round to my mum's for a cuppa I think. They got on great. We're all quite family orientated. So when it's mine/h2b's/sons birthday we all get together for a family meal. It's a great chance for our parents, sil2b and my brother to have a good catch up. My sister/moh is always invited but she hardly ever comes because she's always got to be looking after her blummin dogs x

Ours haven't met either and probably won't until the wedding day and will probably never again. Which is disappointing, but what can you do?

My mil2b and my mom get on really well but she still hasn't met my Dad, stepmom or stepdad and probably won't till the wedding as we live 350 miles from my family.
CommentAuthormillz090
My mum and step dad live 120 miles away but i talk about h2b dad and step mum lots so they wanted to meet. My H2B lost his mum when he was 5 so his dad is now re-married and step-mum is nice. We just go out for a pub lunch or sunday roast at our house every time my mum visits (about once every 6 months) so not too painful. However my dad wont meet any of H2B's family until our wedding day as he lives in Singapore xxx
Finally marrying the love of my life !!
10th August 2013 - 9 years to the day we met !
CommentAuthorAmyP7
Our parents don't meet that often due to the distance, when they did meet they did get on but they are very different. It's my family I'm worried about as my sil swears a lot and can be quite offensive and my in laws are very religious and don't even say the word gos. They will be sat as far apart on the day as we can manage lol x x
CommentAuthormadison_uk
both are families are complete opposites and my mum doesn't like his mum cos shes chavy but they keep it amicable when ever they meet, so don,t worry if they don't like each other they can still keep it nice, manners cost nothing so don,t worry
CommentAuthorsussie
we spent 9 months trying to find a good time for them to meet, it wasnt the mums really that we were worried about it was matts ex-step-dad he was a bit of a k**b so they ended up meeting at the hospital after i had lo. its was ok, they only see each other for ben related activities, and everything seems ok.

CommentAuthorLulu1388
ours havent met yet, and unfortunately are complete opposites.. so will be interesting if and when they do meet! hopefully before the wedding.. but we shall see. We have the added issue my parents are happily married, nice house etc, his parents are divorced (messy), she lives by herself in a flat, hasnt got a job due to an accident she had 2 years ago, struggles with finances occasionally, they are complete opposite. OH's brother has nice house, decent job, wife 2 be and 2 kids, and I'm inbetween the 2 so its not like any one would be rubbing it in anyones faces or anything like that, but its just how to go about meeting we're struggling to decide on at moment!! eek dont want to think about meeting just yet! xx
