It's Time for Our Friends to Meet

You think you've met your soul mate, you're even at that point where you finish each other's sentences. Now, you've put off meeting each other's friends for as long as possible but it's time to face the music...the natives are getting restless.
The friend seal of approval means more at this point than your parents, who are an easy sell since they keep lamenting about the lack of grandchildren, and will pretty much accept whoever walks through the front door with you at Thanksgiving. 
So you round up the gang, fire up the grill, channel your inner Martha Stewart by setting a table worthy of a magazine photo shoot, and stack some beer on ice...but all this will be in vain if they don't mingle.

Do you think it's important for your friends and your significant other friends to get along? How did you introduce your friends to your boyfriend? Can't wait to hear how you broke the ice.
