How to break the ice between both side? *stres.........*Just make sure dun have that kind of situation in HK serials where they met downstairs or at toilet then quarrel before coming into the room!! *touchwood*Why not try to find similiar topics/hobbies that both parents like, eg fathers play golf, or both mums also like the fishhead bee hoon at Holland, etc. Then when sit down together you can start something like, "Mum, Mrs xxx also like the fishhead been hoon one leh!" If they are savvy enough they will know how to continue the topic themselves... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TPY 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Mutual agree within yourself and your HTB, pass the message back to indiidual parent "On the first session try not to discuss on wedding stuff. Do not talk $$," Both you will further disccuss on it later by passing message within you two". A meetup at the female house or resturant will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A meetup at the female house or resturant will do.I agree with TPY....1st meeting avoid such touchy topics....wait till everyone's comfortable with each other liao then arrange to meet up 2nd time to talk about wedding stuff.My 1st parents-meet-parents was during our ROM and when we were sitting down having our buffet lunch, my parents and his parents suddenly talked about wedding ping li stuff....u can't imagine how stressed we were and awkward at the table...but luckily everything turned out amicably....but it's good to let each other's side parents know what to expect so that they won't be caught by surprise.

My parents met up with my boy's parents over the food tasting dinner. They started off talking about the dishes and slowly approached the topic.. Like yours, everything turned out great..But that was not their 1st meet up. They 1st met up when we went to view our empty flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
