Re: Love match - What’s the best way of breaking it to the parents?
Yep. 
Maybe I’m not very idealistic I guess.
Anyways, it’s quite clear the OP doesn’t give a damn what Islam has to say and no matter how much anyone will advise her against this ‘marriage’, she’s gonna go through with it. She doesn’t seem to have much regard for her father’s feelings so I’d just say she should just break the news to them and deal with the consequences. Why care how they react or if they accept this marriage when her ‘love’ for her fiance clearly trumps any love she might have for Allah or her parents.
