i am 18 and about to get married, My parents said that if i stay at home for a few more months, they will give us $2500 to help with the wedding. I would be all for that, if i thought they actually would, but my parents LOVE to bribe me with stuff then tell me "oh, well i forgot to tell you, you had to do this too" and then i ended up doing exactly what they wanted without getting anything they promised. Also, they said i don't have their blessing on my marriage unless i do what they say (again, holding things above my head). I really want their blessing, but i also feel like i am old enough to make my own decisions and take care of myself. Also, IF they did give me any money, they would want me to get married right then (they said this summer) but i want to wait a little while to get married. We are still taking pre-marital counseling and i want to make sure i do everything i can to help our marriage BEFORE i get married, but i feel like they are going to pressure me into it.
