How do you tell your parent(s) that you're getting married?

My boyfriend and I are planning on getting married within the next two years. We are both trying to figure out ways to kind of break the ice and tell our parents. We are going to be together regardless of their opinions but it would be nice to have their approval and to have them support us.How do you tell your parent(s) that you're getting married?
Well I think you should ask your mom for advice about this because she will be more understanding. Approach her and tell her that you want her to support you and want to know what you think of me getting married. Then you say how much you have been thinking about this and you know your ready to get married.How do you tell your parent(s) that you're getting married?
If the two of you are going to get married no matter what your parents have to say about it then it does not matter how you tell them. Just tell them that you have found someone that you love and can see yourself with for the rest of your life. Have you met his parents and he yours. If not have them met before you tell them. If they have than they should be able to see how much the two of you love each other. I am sure if they like him and his parents like you there is no reason they will not give you their support and approval.
I take it that youre both fairly young so thus the reason for not telling them. If so whats the rush? The ideal age with the highest marital success rate for first timers is 24-25 with anything younger, te chance for a disaster goes sky high. Wait the extra few years and see what happens and then tell mom and dad.You will both be glad you waited. Good luck
If you're not mature enough to be able to tell your parents that you're planning on getting married, are you sure you're mature enough to be getting married??
If you can't just tell your parents about such an important decision you've made ... then you are not old enough to consider marriage.
This is how you break the ice to your mom and dad about getting married. ';Mom, Dad, we are going to be married';.
Just tell them the sooner the better. Give them time to get used to it.
If you can't tell them you are too young or too immature (or both) to be getting married. Grow up first.
Try this. Have him talk to your parents and ask their permission.
Just slip it into a normal convo





';Blah blah blah btw we're getting married blah blah blah...';
Oh man, you must be young. Yeah, I've been there. You won't listen so I'll save my breath and just say, best wishes to you! :)
What do you mean you're getting married ';regardless of their opinions';? Why wouldn't they give you their full blessing? Might they think you are too young, too poor, etc? If you can think about why they might be opposed, consider their point of view, then you'll be best prepared to come up with a rebuddle.





Have your parents had a chance to get to know your boyfriend? If they see what a nice young man he is, that should ease their mind. Also, as is tradition, even though the two of you have made plans already to marry, he should officially go to your father to ask for permission. This sounds old-school of course, but it is the best way to tell your parents. But don't TELL them, your boyfriend should at some point in the future ask your father if he can go out for coffee or a burger with your dad. Then he can ask for your dad's blessing. And think about it from your parents' perspective: your mom gave birth to you, your parents raised you, fed you, provided for you, and here's this guy that they're just going to let you run off with who is supposed to provide for you, and any babies that you might give birth to? Well, they're going to want to know who this guy is %26amp; how financially stable he is, if he's going to be good to you, if he can pay the rent, etc, because your parents love you.





No, I'm not Amish, but trust me, if you do this instead of busting out with ';we're getting married and we don't give a damn what you think!';, you'll have a better chance of your parents being on your side. Also know that fighting with in-laws pulls marriages down and causes lots of stress, so if all of you can start a good relationship NOW, it is a good foundation for your future married life.





Best wishes to you, %26amp; congratulations on your engagement!
