First, need more details. Why do your parents not accept the man you are preparing to marry?
At 31yo I think your old enough to stand on your own two feet and decide who you want to marry and have yoru reasons for marrying that person. Your parents should respect your wishes.

If have to ask yourself why they do not accept him. It may be a good reason that you need to look at also. But on the other hand if they don't have a valid reason then go ahead and get married. You have to live with him not your parents. If you are sure in your heart about him and he treats you good and your a happy then your parents will come around in time. Follow your heart and your gut. Take what you parents say into consideration and make your decision. Good luck

Every parent has reservations on choices that their children make because they have their own ideal man in mind and would want their daughter's choice to match that. You however need to get their approval in a way. One would be to actually make them think and know that you understand where they are coming from. By getting to their camp, you will win their attention and they will begin to see the good in your man and accept him. Being on the extreme side to make a point may be difficult for them to side with you.

Are your parents going to find a husband?
Do they even care about a 30 year old woman who is not married? Do what you need to do for your life.

Well it is this way you are old enough to know what you want. They will just have to deal with him. You are the one marrying him not them. You are the one who will wake up every morning and go to bed with him every night not them. I had the same problem but I told them that it was me and not them. My grandmother did not like my mom but they got alone. Maybe if you find out why your parenst are not wanting to accept him then you might be able to work it out between them and him.

look you're 31, not 18; you've got to live your own life and make you own decisions. so you may make some mistakes, it's how we all learn. You're an adult. if you're prepared to get married, do so. you're parents will do what they do. hopefully they will accept your spouse. hopefully your relationship with them will become more adult-to-adult and not remain adult-child.

You're 31. Why do they even care one way or the other. Move far, far away from your parents.
