Re: Love marriages

Telling your parents directly is the best approach. I know its confusing but you have to rely on them and make them a part of the process as soon as you can, otherwise parents start to feel like they dont matter. Let them have their say, speak to them, discuss and if necessary point out the good things about your choice. Sometimes, they make very valid points that we dont see because we're blinded by love. On the other hand, if they're very traditional, they may simply have a problem with you "choosing"...doesnt matter who.

Either way, the earlier they know...the better off you and your future wife will be.

Re: Love marriages

My hubby and I met in the US while studying...wrote letters to our parents and send them out on the same day (with background music playing at the back while we were putting them in the mailbox while holding on to our increased palpitations)... a few days later, we both called on the same day to check their responses. Both sides were dramatic, made us go through a guilt trip and all that...but what do you know, they came down, met us and we've been happily married for 12 years now!

My Mum and Dad had a love marriage. My Mum wasn't sure how to tell her parents so she decided to write in in a letter!!!! Then she put it on her Dad's desk. She was very shy about these things. Grandad signed 'yes' and gave the letter back to her. :)

I thought that was very sweet. Hehe!
