S/O: When did YOU meet your FI's parents?

careydes · March 2012

I met his parents about 3 weeks after we decided to admit we were boyfriend/girlfriend. They came up for his work Holiday Function, and since they live in NC, we weren't sure when the next time was that I would get to meet them. I met them (after I was an hour late because an accident shut down the highway) at FIs (now our) house, right before heading out to meet all of his employees ha. What was I thinking!??!

I also joined his family on their familiy vacation to Puerto Rico (where I met his younger sister) 3 months after that!

I still can't believe it all happened like that.

I met fi father the second date because he lives with his dad and we had to go pick things up at his house but his mom i didnt meet till 2 onths later at his birthday party in nyc

I met FI's dad the night of our first date, he was living at home at the time and the father came out of his room to use the bathroom and caught us kissing haha, but he doesn't remember it was me! His mom was a few dates later, probably a month?

FI's mom lives about 3.5 hours away, and he took me home to meet her for the first time about 3 months after we started dating - we were attending a wedding in town, but we stayed at her apartment.

levanlaere · March 2012

I can't remember how long it was but I would guess within the first two to three months of dating. They live relatively close on a lake so he brought me to their house to ride the jet skiis and boat. I remember being really nervous and wore my most conservative swimsuit. Nothing like meeting parents for the first time and being half naked!

I met FI's Mom about a month after we started dating. FI's Mom's side of the family does this huge apple picking event in the fall so not only did I meet his mom for the first time, but I met his mom's entire family....it was scary, but everyone was very warm and welcoming.

I later found out that all the cousins were like "OMG Mike's bringing a girlfriend?!?! this must be serious" I was apparently the only gf he ever brought apple picking

I met FI's dad on one of their construction jobsites about 3 months after we started dating.

I originally met FI's parents when we were in 10th grade at the local fair. We were just friends at the time. A month before, FI and I were in a wreck- he was taking me home from school. FI introduced me to his dad as "the girl who was with me when I wrecked."-- he hugged me first thing

I actually met them as FI's girlfriend a couple weeks after we started dating. He invited me over for a family cook out for his dad and grandma's birthdays. His Mom's family and Dad's family were all there... so overwhelming. I look back at that day and laugh!

mancila60 · March 2012

When FI and I met his mom was in the hospital. She had gotten into a major wreck the weekend BEFORE we met. So it was bout 4-5 months later that I met her. I didn't meet his dad and stepmom till about 9-10 months after we started dating.

When I met his mom it was so funny because we were broken up but still friends and she kept telling him that she thought I was so pretty and even though we were dating I was so sweet and we should date.

When I met his dad I remember hearing him say to his dad that I was his girlfriend. And his dad was like she's a keeper. It was really cute.

mildlymailyn · March 2012

FI and I started our long distance relationship in August 2008 and I met his family for the first time, in Oregon the following September (2009).

mandi921vh · March 2012

I think it was about 2 1/2 months after we began dating. I drove to his house from MA to VT to stay for a few days at his parents house. FMIL asked a lot of questions... they were worried I was going to break FI's heart because his last GF had. Then after they liked me FMIL already began talking marriage to FI ( I didn't know about this until a couple yeas later). She had us married off after a few months of dating.

FMIL is a bit crazy... when FSIL started dating a guy from TX she immediately said that the grandparents would not be able to travel to TX for the wedding!

ladychambers83 · March 2012

Awww I like reading everyone's stories...

I knew FI's family from church for years and they all knew he had a crush on me. So it was only about a week after our first date that he officially brought me around the family as a couple.

jennamarie10 · March 2012

I met the 'rents exactly a month after our first date. We had just the day before decided we were exclusive. His SIL was mad because she thought it was too early for me to come home because we wouldn't want to get FMIL's hopes up. It was a great time, and the first time I said that I was falling for him!

KissaC18 · March 2012

I met FI's mom the first night we hung out together and I met his dad and grandparents a few days later. I already knew his twin brother.

LuckyHeather · March 2012

FI's mom lives in Chicago. We live in Florida. She flew in to visit him sometime during the first year of our relationship (I want to say it was close to six months, since that was around his birthday). She stayed at his house for the weekend. She is such a doll! We went to Chicago to stay at her house and meet her husband about 2 years into our relationship.

His dad and step-mom, on the other hand, live five minutes from his house and I didn't meet them until we had been together for about a year. Enough said about them.

TheFutureMrsB81 · March 2012

I met FI's mom maybe 3-4 months after we started to date and his dad maybe 1-2 months after his mom. They're not a close family, so it was whatever. In the almost 1 1/2 years we've been engaged, I've only seen his dad maybe 3 times lol.

Melissa51212 · March 2012

First real date..we were both living at home at that point. Haha!

Bett2012 · March 2012

I met FI's mom before I met FI. I met his whole family at church scattered through a period of a few weeks. I thought it was kind of cute because his mom met her mother in law before she met FI's dad, so it's kind of a family trend, I guess!

Mona8 · March 2012

I met FI's parents about 2 weeks after we started dating. We had just gone on winter break during college, and I went to visit him at home and met his whole family for the first time.

littleshrink · March 2012

I LOVE this post.... and reading all of your stories.

I think I met his parents about 6 -8 months after we started dating (we've been together for 15 years, give me a break!). Anyway...we live half way across the country so they came out to visit. We were already living with each other (we may take a while to get married, but we're quick to live in sin!) I was so nervous about meeting them, but also "living" with them for a week while they were visiting. I remember I got up really early every morning to get showered and ready so that they didn't see my morning persona. hehehehe

I love FI's family and his parents have always been wonderful to me. His dad passed away a few years ago, and I think FI and I are starting to realize how hard it will be to not have his dad there with us. He was probably our biggest cheerleader....

Soon2bStaff · March 2012

True story... I met FI's parents when FI's brother was in the hospital with a life threatening condition. He is okay now but it was sooooo weird hahahahaha

jensimpson86 · March 2012

I met his parents about 3 months after we are dating, right before Christmas. He was so shy and nervous. It was so cute!

kimberlykh · March 2012

FI and I started dating in Feb. 2010 and I met his mom that November 2010 at his brother's house in Maine. We were all there for Thanksgiving She lives in France, so I've only met her that one time and then at a family reunion this summer. We email a lot though. I met his dad for the holidays in Dec. 2010. We drove to his house in Florida to celebrate New Years.

bpphoto785 · March 2012

About a month and a half after we met/started dating. We were in college and FI didn't have a car so I brought him home for Thanksgiving. I remember being SOOO nervous!!
