We must not be some of the only same sex couples on here newly engaged!
Right now our big problem is that we're not "officially" announcing our engagement until September! Because that is when our rings will be in, and much of our families would laugh at us if we announced it with no "proof" (the rings being proof). Unfortunately, this wait for the official announcement is giving us more to fear announcing it to my Fiance's mother, coming out to... many of our family members... It's like the high-school coming out all over again for us and it's scary!
Of course, we're going to grit our teeth and get through it in the end, but have any of you had to go through this? Any advice on how to gently tell a future mother in law that's dead set against marriage in general, let alone fond of us together, that this is happening?
Preferably in a kind way! Lol!
