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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
My parents aren't married. And one of the reasons why they never got married is because they had been married before, and they liked it the way it was. They didn't feel like they needed a piece of paper to be committed. So for me, I know that marriage is not a golden ticket.
My mom said, 'Don't get married. You're too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.' And I did.
If you are going through something with one of your parents, you know that there is this feeling inside you constantly that something is wrong. Even if you want to pretend that it doesn't matter to you or you don't care, the truth of the matter is that you do, because they are your parents and you love them.
I never looked at my parents' marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, 'I gotta get me some of that!'
You may not understand your parents' interpretation of love and what they think is best for you, but you have to trust it.
My dad told me when I was very young, that I should not get married before 30. His only advice to me was to live my life.
I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.
There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.
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.
