Well we were older and adults so his parents/family were sort of irrelevant. However, they did treat me pretty crummy at first. Now feelings are sort of changing as they treat me better and I love "the family"--aunts, cousins, etc.
1st time: Mom nice, Dad grumpy. It's the same now.
I thought they were really quiet and very nice. I still like them, but I see them in a whole different light now.
They are very sweet people, but they didn't know we were in a relationship. So I couldn't have a real interaction with them. But my feelings haven't changed: they're wonderful people.
embarrassed for them that their daughter would bring some guy back on the
anniversary...
but now I realize embarrassment isn't something they feel.
I do like them. they're really nice people.

I felt like they looked at me a lot. :) I know that sounds weird but I think they wondered if he'd ever get married, so there was more pressure than the usual girlfriend-meet-the-parents scenario. So I felt like they watched and noticed everything I did. This feeling has only gotten stronger as time has gone by.
They're both very loving and friendly. His Mom is very energetic and his dad is very mellow, but both are fun and they continue to be so.
They were nice and I felt welcome. I know what to expect more, but nothing has changed.
The dad was very cool, his mom at bit overbearing...but I loved them then and still do now...his mom doesn't seem as overbearing anymore.
When I first saw her, I thought she was a beautiful girl with a lot of temperament. But I felt that she wouldn't be interested in me due to our age differences. I now think we're perfect for each other :)
Knew she didn't care for us dating - but by now she has opened up knowing i'm not going to leave her daughter like my wife's father left her, as for her father - i don't know if he noticed i was even there when we visited.
I learnt a lot about myself and them through knowing them.
I love them and admire them both

I liked both of them. They were both what I expected from what she had told me about them. Her mom was very nice, inviting and witty. Her dad was a little more gruff but I could tell he was more or less messing with me but we got along fine.
I got along with them well and enjoy seeing them.
I thought they were great! They reminded me of my parents, so I knew we would get along well. I have grown to love them dearly and always will.
