finally we meet vs finally we met

Both options are grammatically correct, but they are used in different situations. 'Finally we meet' is said when two people are meeting for the first time or after a long time of not seeing each other. 'Finally we met' is used when the meeting already happened in the past. So, the choice between the two depends on the timing of the meeting.
