Anybody had issues telling your family your getting married? I have literally planned my wedding to the T BUT haven’t told my parent I’m getting married. I don’t think they will be accepting of it because my future hubs doesn’t share the same beliefs as us. I don’t want to rob my mom of the mom daughter things during wedding planning .. like dress shopping ..bridal showers etc but I honestly want to TELL her I’m getting married and not really seek approval. Is that harsh? I want to have support and love but at the same time I don’t know if I'm ready or prepared to accept the outcome if it doesn’t go in my favor. I don’t want their feelings to overshadow my feelings about marrying the man im in love with. I want to accept and embrace this new adventure in my life but it’s hard to not knowing if I will have a support system or not.

    I think if you're mature enough to get married you probably don't need the approval of others on that decision. Do you think they would object for any reason?

    Congrats on the engagement!

    This is quite the conundrum. You’ve planned your wedding but have not told your parents? At this point what do you have to lose? It seems the longer you delay the more resentment that may build up once they find out. Have you thought about just owning and staying your truth: “Hey I know you don’t approve but I love my fiancé and we are starting our lives together. And I would love for you to be apart of it, even though I know you have some concerns.” Seems like saying something like that would be an honorable way to acknowledge your truth and yet validate their reticence. This would be a mature way to go about it.

    ***UPDATE ***


    Well I broke the news to my mom and sisters!! And let’s just say it went better then expected.. everyone is accepting and happy for us. Theyexpressed their concerns but overall are excited to help me finish and be apart if the wedding! Their main issue is that I won’t be 10 minutes away.. once we are married I will be moving with him in Maryland. So now I can relax enjoy and embrace this new adventure.
