Answer #1

Do not just send them an invitation - be Adults - prepare what you’re going to say (cover all areas how you’ll afford to live, where, etc)…when complete, call a meeting and ask for their love and support…I wish all of you the best !!

Answer #2

I’m going to tell my father today that I’m getting married. And my father is negative about everything,but I’m an adult it is my choice and I know I’m getting married for the right reasons and I’m ready to do so. What you should do is just tell them.But dont do it because you’re pregnant otherwise you’ll regret the decision. Where you guys talking about marriege before you became pregnant? If you were planning this before the pregnancy then I dont see a problem.Have you discussed money issues,children ,where you are going to live,sex,division of labour,these are things you have to discuss before you get married,if you haven’t done it do it now before telling your parents. But if you have prepared for marriage,just look them in the eye and tell them with pride and joy cause if they sense that you have doubts they are not going to accept it.

Answer #3

You aren’t children anymore, you are getting ready to have a child of your own. You have a close relationship with your parents then you should be able to sit down and talk to them like adults. Your mind is made up the two of you are in love are getting married and having a child together. The parents in this case have two choices to be loving and accepting putting their differences aside at least for the sake of their future grandchild or to continue to be set in their ways. Either way I think they should be told in person not via mail with everyone else. Congratulations and Good Luck…Pacman
