Getting married, how will I tell them?

Both of you have nothing to worry. You must tell your parents as early as now about your plans. I can't see anything wrong from it that will make your parents disagree. Both of you are on the right age and have a job already. You'll never know their reaction unless you tell it to them. Good luck to both of you.

I think I understand you perfectly. There is some amount of uncertainty but speaking to your parents should help you, because they usually have your interest at heart. Just go and tell them about the relationship, your goals, your dreams and your plans. Allow them to question you so that you can think through. Tell them now so that you can get their support and help. Perhaps they can guide and help to organize you. Lots to say but I have to run God bless you.

its good that you are in love with someone see if you are planning for wedding next year till that time if your parents decide you marriage with some other person than it can create problem so you should tell your parents as soon as possible. now the problem comes when and how to tell your parents. firstly in my accordance you should present him as your friend and than slowly you should start discussing with your parent about that boy his qualities and and day by day they will know him well one day seeing a good time you should say your feelings to your mother and than she will talk to your father and if you are closer to your father than you should tell your father.

I would tell them soon. If they don't like the idea, they have a little longer to get used to it. You also don't want them to be offended if you don't tell them if they are excited about it. Good luck!

Personally I would have discussed it with my parents long before I proposed to the girl. However, since we're already at step 2, I'd get step 1 done as quickly as possible. Parents should know and the sooner the better. Marriage is hard on the best days, and we all need all the support we can get. Just call them up and say, hey great news! My boyfriend proposed! We're engaged! Best to you :)

First and foremost, I am happy to know that you are in love with someone who is also in love with you. Secondly, that you can both think of getting married a glorious begging of a lovely life time. You have a big dream that is unshakeable, don't worry, you parents will surely be happy to hear your wonderful plan. No matter how you tell them, they were also married to eacth other some day just like you people wants to do, and given the fact that you are both working, here's a text message for mum... "hi sweet mom, I am very delighted today to tell you, your baby gurl would be starting her life as a parent sometimes next yr. I need your prayer, blessing and support mom. I guess we'll talk about it this weekend... Can't stop loving you mom... cheers!"

the two of you are adults. Your parents are adults. Take them out to dinner. Then just tell them. If they are long distances away as mine were a phone call will do.

Since both of you are already working adults and are responsible like having own earnings and stuff like that, I think that is the perfect age to get married. It seems like financial wise, it won't be too hard on you guys and you can definitely live with your husband to be, if I were both of your parents, I'd definitely give my blessings. Good luck and hopefully they will agree to this idea. Tell us how it goes, yeah..

Hi Fiona. If you two love one another and want to spend the rest of your lives together and are sure of marrying, by all means, share this good news with your parents. They will have advice and input, like most parents do, and I hope it will be positive and supportive. One thing that some parents feel bad about is when the other parents know first, so perhaps you can all go out to dinner? If not, then you might have to go to them as a couple, and just not mention who knew first lol. Congratulations to you! ...and much happiness. Karen

Congratulations on your engagement! I agree with everyone who is saying that you should inform your parents as soon as possible. Unless they dislike your fiance, I can't think of any reason that they should object. I hope everything goes well for you! Good luck!

Hi, babyfiona08! Congrats, girl! I suggest that you can tell your parents by inviting them for a lunch or dinner the earliest possible time so that you can have their blessings and some of their suggestions so that you can concentrate on your wedding preparations which of course needs time. Anyway, both of you are of legal age and earning. Some may say it is too early but if both of you think that you can better face life by being together and you wanted to make more years spend as couples for life...it will be your decision. You can also get some advise from your parents on this so you should let them know first. Wow...It so good that you had this opportunity! Have a nice day!

First of all, congratulations on your engagement, I wish you both all the best! You are adults now, and with that comes responsibilities. One thing is to stand up for what you believe in, and what you think is right. Secondly, be honest and above-board with both sets of parents, they deserve to hear it from you. If you wait to release news like this to your parents, it makes it look like you have something to hide, or you are not sure of your decision. How they react to the news is completely up to them and out of your hands. I hope you are pleasantly surprised and the parents are very happy for the both of you. Either way, get it done soon, you'll feel better once you have.

Before getting married, think it over a thousand times or even more. Once you've made your decision, inform your parents and the earlier the better. Don't forget that parents went through the same thing like what you are into now. Take thier advice and don't forget that they have your best interest at heart.

I think it is important that whether you have real love. If your answer is yes, I suggest you should tell your parents bravely. You can tell your parents that I have a good boyfriend. Firstly, you should give your parents a good impression of your boygriend. Followly, you tell your parents you want to make a live with him in all life. Wishing your parents' admission. Go ahead!

babyfiona08 You are both over 21 and that is a good' time to marry and have your kids while you are young. Just go to your parents and tell them you have something 'to say and be straight with them , just tell them we want to get married. They will probably be thrilled and be' glad for you two.You are working, you have everything going for you, happy wedding.

You two sound like you are two responsible young adults and you guys want to be happy. You two are working and providing for yourselves. If you guys are happy, than your parents should be too! It's better to approach them early, that way it doesn't feel like a lie. There is no easy way about it, so just bite the bullet. Are parents very strict? It's probably better than telling them that you are pregnant. That would be worse.

Well, I will never ask why you wouldn't tell your parents, but you yourself always know. Maybe you can chat with your parents about wedding, just general, and start approcahing to your marriage. =) If you plan the wedding to be held next year, then it is not too early to tell your parents. As long as you can support your own family, marriage will always be fine. =)

If you think you're mentally and financially ready, why not. Just go on with the marriage plan. You can just talk to your parents about it, they might be happy too. After all, parents want the best for their kids. If you can't do it alone, ask your BF to talk to them with you. This way they'll see how decent he is and might speed up the parents' approval process. Congrats on your wedding~~~ and good luck~~~

You know I think that you need to give your parents credit. I am a parent of children over 18 and my wish for them before anything major in life is to finish school and get a job. You have accomplished this. Besides they have a year to get use to the idea. You would not believe how helpful they will be for the planning and details. They will give you advice about things you probably forgot you needed for that special day. IF you are planning on a white wedding dress, you have to have your mother there if possible (his too if possible). I think it will be ok, sounds like you two already have your life established. It is nice to know that even though you have already established your life (college, good job, etc) you still feel the need to consider your parents feelings, respect, and approval. They should be very proud because at your age you do not have to prove or ask anyone for anything.

do your parents like your boyfriend and if they do there should not be any problems i would like to see you get married before you live together and if your both working and can pay your own way i don't think your parents will be disappointed but please wait a few years before you have childrn because they sure do change your life
