Same here, I didn't meet the folks till WAY after the event...

The hardest part of the meeting was they weren't 100% certain I
existed.  My wonderful wife, fearing their reaction, had failed to
inform them that we'd been living together for 6 months and dating for
a year before we got married.  I still remember bothering her about a
week before the marriage about whether she'd told her parents yet (it
was also very annoying to not be able to answer my own phone for fear
that they'd discover me).

All things considered we get along fabulously, mostly because I can't
understand a word they say.
