I told my parents that I will marry any girl they choose for me. They also told me that they are open to considering any girl I choose. We were very open about it throughout.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You never know what your parents are going to say when you tell them you're getting married - especially when it's with someone they haven't met yet.
I love my parents. Coming out to them was sort of coming out to myself. I educated them, and I wanted our relationship to keep growing. I wanted them to be a part of my life still. I wanted to be able to share with them what I was going through.
My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.
My parents were both very intellectually honest, straightforward, and for them, faith meant that you were fully engaged.
My parents said marrying was an optimistic thing to do in pessimistic times.
My mother had taught me about the importance of finding a 'good provider,' so when my boyfriend proposed, I said 'yes' in a heartbeat. I was still just a kid, and I didn't know what was coming in life.
My parents are divorced, and that was the last thing I wanted for myself. I waited until I was 36 to propose, and I'm really proud of that.
I was never the girl that grew up saying I want to get married. I actually told my parents to not expect me to get married.
