Has your parents ever disapproved on the person you were to marry and you got married anyway? Are you still on good terms with your parents?

I don't know anyone who married someone their parents really loved, no-one will ever be good enough for your children...Just be careful sometimes parents see things that we don't.
They are generally a little older and a little wiser.....Good luck to you :-)

Have the family members who are against stated specific reasons why they feel that way? If so, are the reasons they state legitimate concerns? If the reasons are not that big of a problem then go ahead and get married, just realize that the two of you will have the same complexities to work through like any couple does. If you're going to show the family that you two should be together, it's going to be a process that could take a few years.

Yes I did, this was nearly 30 years ago, 1977. Both parents hers and mine..my Mom her Dad...didn't want she and I to marry, different nationalities. We were young, but had known each other for several years...We both wanted to be married and start a family and so we did...Her Father the very evening of the wedding took me aside and welcomed me personally into the family and explained the prejudice he grew up with and why he was so hard on me, but since I didn't back out, he welcomed me in...My Mom on the other hand was much more stubborn...My Mom & Dad and other siblings at home didn't attend the wedding, a few who lived on their own did come ....and it was nearly a year later that I accepted my Moms invitation to attend a family comunion celebration...later my wife and I were here favorites and she eventually over came any prejudices against any other nationality...which was to her benefit since there is a rainbow of nationalities in the family now.

Even though I started dating my husband since I was 13 and he has been my "only one" my parents did not agree with me getting married. First they thought we were to young. I was pregnant before I got married, and they think i messed up my life. But you know what I had to be me. I loved him and that's what counted I stood by my feelings. I've been married for 6 years now. And my parents, sometimes still has a hard time to let go, and let me be a family. but they know that to love me and to be happy they have to love my husband. they do and we get along. We are just like any other family with in-laws. You have to sit down with all of them and everyone express thier feelings. They accept it and be happy or miss out on seeing thier child grow up and become her own family. Don't get sucked into the guilt trip.

I married a woman that my parents disapproved of, and guess what, they were right, I was wrong! I had on my "rose-colored " glasses and didn't see her for who she was....they did. The last 3 sentences my Mother ever said to me was, "I HATE that *****, I HATE that *****, I HATE that *****!" Sad last words you ever hear your Mother say.....but she was right! She has been dead for 14 years now. Listen to your parents, they won't lead you wrong!!

Yes, my parents said, "OH NO NOT HER". They were right, but I went against their wishes. I regreted it ever since. My choice was the worst thing I have done in my life.

yes, and I wish I had listened to them, they were right and I was wrong, I am now divorced and could have saved myself a lot of pain if I had listened to them in the first place and not got married.

My parents were not happy when I married my husband because I am white and he is black. I loved him and even through my parents were not happy they go over it.

My cousin did, she got a divorce and is now remarried with 3 kids. Parents aren't as stupid as we give them credit for.
