Just a friendly inlaws poll...hope I got all the options right.

I met mine 4 days before the weddding..They loved me, I love them...but it's easy to love in laws when they are 9000 miles away

I met Wadi's mom (his dad passed away when he was young) when I visited Morocco in July '05. She is very sweet, but seeing that I speak no arabic, and she speaks no english or even french, there was very little interaction between us, unfortunately.

Hmm, it's not been an easy road (actually it's been pretty painful). But things are much better now with the in law situation.

Haven't met them yet, and been married almost two years. Will hopefully meet them soon! They like me so far, from what they know of me, from letters I have written them, and from talking to my father in law on the phone. I will be very nervous when I meet them due to the cultural differences. Although I am also looking forward to it.

His mum saw me and after like 1 hour (she was talking like a waterfall) she took me to the mall to go shopping. She treats me like I was her daughter and it feels to me, like I've known her forever.

I her.

I get along with my inlaws wonderfully.

Chris also gets along with my parents as well.

It is fantastic.

Anna's mom asked how my mother could let me travel so far to meet someone. She was truly curious not mean about it. After about 30 minutes of talking we all looked at one another and all came to the same conclusions. Families are the same around the world.

Her father was very quite at first but eventually began talking quite a bit. Even told me a joke. He said a Russian and American met for the first time and could not undestand one another at all. After a bottle of vodka they understood everything the other said. They are not big drinkers but they are big talkers and it was very nice. Anna's sister asked me if it bothered me that I could not understand what was being said. I said I may not understand it but it is familar to me, a family sharing a meal talking and laughing. This is very familar to me. I also told her that I told Anna it was ok to not translate everything because that would be very tiresome for her and I wanted her to enjoy the visit as much as possible. After all I am the one who was unable to learn Russian so why should Anna have to pay for my lack linguistic skills.

Paul misses Anna

We all met several months before, when I visited England. I had already spoken to his mum on the phone many many times before that, and we couldn't wait to meet! They are lovely wonderful people and I just love, love, love them! I'm pretty certain I would love them every bit as much if they lived closer ...that's one regret we have doing things this way; we can't ever just invite both sets of parents over for a meal, etc. We're planning a trip over (Corey and my parents as well) probably in Spring, though, so we'll see them before *too* long, and we speak on the phone and via email until then...

Wes' parents are deceased so I couldn't vote. The results are interesting though.

Met my (then future) in-laws in May 2005 at LEF Annual Retreat (Pras' mother attended, her dad visited--but left in a huff before the engagement as he wanted a wedding in India).

Neither of my in-laws attended the wedding (mum-in-law couldn't get visa appointment in time, dad-in-law not interested in travelling to US), nor any of Pras' few US-based relatives (which caused her considerable nervousness).

I've met two of my brothers-in-law and their families, but Amed's parents are both deceased, so unfortunately I won't be able to meet them. However, I loved both of his brothers, and talk to the other brothers and his sister on the phone every now and then. It's difficult because some of them don't speak French too well and I don't speak any arabic. We're going over in the spring (I hope), so I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the family then.

It makes me really sad that Amed's parents aren't around because I just have this feeling that they were the nicest people.

On the other hand, Amed gets along famously with all of my immediate family and most of my extended family. He's easy to love, though.

I met my husbands family - my new extended family before the wedding. all went very well. I get along well with all of his family members. This was good because, my husbands family said wonderful things during are our field investigation. My family also said nice things about our relation.

I'm surprised so many met their in laws so far ahead of the wedding...well actually it makes sense...Just when your SO is from SO far away it's hard.

i win the cutting it close prize...HAHA meeting them only 4 days before the wedding
