Those of you who met online...

When we get around to setting a date then yes, we have no probs with it. Everyone knows anyway!

I met my hubby to be online, i think most of our friends/family know anyway??!!

not sure if i would be happy tho if it were mentioned

I suspect H2B will mention it in his speeach, and I dont mind in the slightest. I dont mind people knowing, its hardly "weird" anymore. It is as common as meeting in a pub now!

NO!

Although my close mates and mum and dad etc know the few people who are coming from work don't (few old fuddy duddies at work so always said we met "on a night out") Had a word with best man and he won't say anything. Not ashamed of it, but would rather it wan't mentioned!

I have no problems with people knowing how we met. It's on our wedding website and theres even a question about it on our wedding quiz ?

Everyone knows how we met, so i'd have no problem with it being mentioned, if we were having speeches...

That's an intresting one, all my friends/family know we met on line, but my OH's 'old uni friends' don't know - I'm not embarrsed at all, infact I'm not sure why they don't know actually as all his 'ther' friends and family know....

I meet OH on Dating Direct, and he always tells everyone that he brought me online, and got stuck with me cause he couldn't return me!!?, so I'm sure it will be mentioned in the speeches somewhere. I have no problem with that, everyone knows how we meet.

Everyone knows and it was mentioned in the speech - OH said he was expecting a Thai Bride and got me instead - got a big laugh from everyone there. As someone else said, it isn't weird anymore as so many people meet that way but I do know one couple who haven't told everyone and it was only alluded to at their wedding as "our first contact was via e-mail" which was suitably vague it could've meant anything.

OH also met his best man online initially, and he (BM) referred to that in his speech and then inserted a subtle dig about meeting other people off the internet. My friends still don't really know so I banned both OH and BM from mentioning it explicitly.

We met through facebook....so everyone knows how we met...i am in england he is in australia....so our relationship has been almost public viewing!

I met my OH online and I think most people know that. He lived in Preston and I live in London so he moved down here to be with me. I don't think it will necessarily be brought up in speeches but I don't think I'd be bothered if it was. I think it has almost lost the stigma attached to it as it's a much more common thing to happen nowadays.

I was worried about peoples reactions, but like u say it has lost the stigma and is probably more common now than meeting someone in a pub

hope u all have fab days x

We're having the 'internet poem' as our reading by the registrar. I haven't got it to hand as we're in a hotel ready to go to the passport office in liverpool tomorrow. It goes along the lines of wondering if we had met any other way.

If i google Internet Poem will i find it? lol sounds good

We met through PlentyOfFish.com so i am having a fish embroidered onto my dress - am sure that will get people talking lol - have no issue with people knowing at all

Thanks, seems to be mixed opinions. I agree about it becoming more acceptable now, I have a few friends who met their partners online and tbh I forget that's how they met, I doubt by the time the weddings come round anybody with bother to mention it.

Me personally, I have dabbled occassionally in internet dating and I always thought that I'd not want anybody to know how we met, but a couple of years ago I had a relationship (didn't work out), but I was so head over heels with him that I couldn't have cared less where we met or who knew. I still feel a bit worried about it, but I suppose if I meet someone who I end up marrying, I'll be so happy on my wedding day that I won't care who knows/what they think!

I don't think there's any shame in it.

I've been lucky enough to not need/want internet dating, but I'd have no problem doing it if I couldn't meet people any other way.

When people ask how you met, I actually think it's better to say "we met online" than my response of "I was in a pub and was so drunk, my friend dared me to kiss him and I did." Seriously, I didn't even remember what he looked like. Thank God for Facebook and mutual friends!
