Getting married, how will I tell them?

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.

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.

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..

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.

hello fiona,

THere's nothing wrong with that since the both of you are at the right age and probably working and independent. just make more plans and tell them what they think, am sure they will agree because all they seek is also your own happiness and am sure they will even help you.

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.

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!

dont you think its a little earlier about marriage for ever? you are only 21 years old, and you think you can make it a decision for a life time?

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!
