Love: Today, I went to my fiancé's house to have dinner with his family...

Today, I went to my fiancé's house to have dinner with his family for the first time. Trying to be polite at the end of the meal I went to take the plates in to the kitchen. I overestimated how heavy the half-finished soup pot was, and threw soup all over myself and future mother-in-law. FML

Today, I was working as a waitress at a wedding. I was trying to clear the tables as quickly as possible and decided to place a half bowl of soup on top of the pile of plates I was carrying. As I was hurrying back to the kitchen I tripped and spilt the soup all over the bride's ivory dress. FML

Today, I had my girlfriend over at my parents for dinner. When we were done, my dad went around to collect all the dirty plates and stacked them on his arm. When he got to my girlfriend, the weight became too much and he and the plates fell on top of her. FML

Today, it was my first day at work. They had me a large tray with lots of food on it, even after I told them I wasn’t comfortable carrying it. I hit the door on the way out of the kitchen, spilling everything on the tray, breaking two soup bowls and three salad plates. FML

Today, I was sick and laid up in bed, and my boyfriend decided to bring me some soup. Just as he reached the bed, he tripped over his own feet and spilled the soup all over me. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's grandma for the first time. Trying to make a good impression, I offered to wash the dishes. I accidentally broke the faucet. FML

Today, I was preparing dinner for my in-laws for the first time. Nervous, I accidentally spilled the pasta into the sink. With nothing else to prepare, I quickly scooped it all back out. No-one would have been any the wiser, if the kitchen sponge hadn't shown up in the middle of the meal. FML

Today, I went over to my girlfriend's house to meet her entire family for the first time. Trying not to be rude, I ate their 12-bean and chorizo soup. Now I'm stuck in the bathroom trying to unclog the toilet with no plunger. FML

Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML

Today, I was quietly admiring my boyfriend from outside the kitchen as he made us dinner, only to witness him drop a load of spaghetti on the floor, swear, then scoop it all up and place it back on the plate. FML

Today, to treat the family, I cooked something nice in appreciation for sticking it out over the past few tough months. Unfortunately, I chose this one day to not wear my oven mitts when carrying the food to the table, spilling the food all over the carpeted floor. FML

The thought that counts? Hopefully she had a sense of humor. 

Not an FML. Just an embarrassing accident. I doubt she'll hate you because of it.

So? It's not like you said anything sexual, thinking it was him.

Psh. It's not like you insulted her profession or religious belief or something. You just spilled soup on her. You'll probably laugh about it a few years from now.

why are you just now having dinner w/ the family for the first time if you're already engaged?? usually that happens within the first couple months of dating....

That was exactly my first thought and I'm surprised no one commented on that before you.

THANK YOU!! I was thinking the same thing too. If you have dated long enough to be engaged, wouldnt you have met each others parents already? Why dont other commenters pick up on this??

It's possible to have met the family without having dinner with them. Or to live far away and have not met them yet. After all, it's the guy she'll be marrying, not the family. Gawsh, everyone's so desperate to find fault with the FMLs.

It only happens within the first couple of months of dating if your significant other lives near their family. Some people have an annoying habit of moving.
