How do i tell my family that im getting married?

i am 18 and i graduate in may. me and fiance are planning on getting married towards the end of the year. i want a special wedding with my family there and everything but heres the problem: they dont really like my fiance. i am so in love and so happy but im scared that all of their reactions will be nothing but disapointment and lectures. help!How do i tell my family that im getting married?
Is there a reason they don't like him? Are you giving up college to do this? If he loves you now, and it is real, it will wait for a year. Families are not likely to be disliking him without a good reason. You are very young, the rest of your life (until death do you part) is unimaginable right now. Do you have jobs? Budget? Apartment? Plans for family? differences in religion? How was he raised? How will you raise children? Who will discipline? How? What would happen if he was offered a job far away? What if you were? What would you do if you became pregnant and the baby was challenged in some way or handicapped?


My point is that there is a LOT that I am SURE you haven't discussed. Just a physical attraction does not mean you are in love or could live together successfully!


Talk with your parents, find out their concerns. If you are ready to marry, you will be able to convince them.How do i tell my family that im getting married?
Why don't they like him? Sometimes family can see things that we can't when we're in love. If you don't think that's the case, well then just gush to them that so and so proposed and you're getting married in whatever month. Act super happy and excited. If you have a venue picked out or anything like that, tell them about it. It'll be a lot harder for them to be negative when you're being really positive. You are 18 though and just graduating high school, so be prepared for the lectures on being too young and waiting for after college, ect. Just take it in stride and understand their concerns. Good luck!
I hate to break it to you but usually when family's don't like the boyfriend it's because they see the red flags that you can't see because you are in love. I think you should do what makes you happy, but 18 is a bit young for marriage and the responsibilities that come with it. Why don't you keep dating, just to be sure he's the one?
Parents usually want good things for their children.





If your family does not like your boyfriend, it may be because they can SEE things you cannot see...or are unwilling to admit are a problem.





You are still too young to consider marriage. Marriage is not an easy thing; and even people who are very much in love end up divorced.





I'm sure you are totally in love with this guy, but your entire life is at stake here. What's the rush? When a man - not a kid- loves a woman, he is willing to wait and to do things to prove he is worthy of her!





Remember the saying...';Marry in haste...Repent at leisure';!


BE SMART and WAIT !!!
You are 18. Wait a bit. Live with him for at least a year. Can you afford an apartment? Bills? Have you really thought this through? Try living with him for a year and deal with the reality of life and living with him.
stop thinking about it. its your life, your choice. if you are happy, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.
