I'm living with my boyfriend. Parents knew all along we were going to move in, even helped us buy stuff to set up the house.
Just tell them about it, you don't have to do anything special, just do it. They can't really expect you to never grow up and live with your partner.

My boyfriend and I are moving to my hometown on the other side of the country in a month, and will be moving in together at that point. My parents know and couldn't care less. They aren't religious and living together before marriage isn't a big deal to them. When I asked my mom what she thought (I was pretty nervous at first about the "next step"), she said "you practically live together already, but that's something only the two of you can decide." So really, they don't care.
This is something between you and your bf, not between you and your parents. You should tell them obviously, but don't let their opinions or attitudes make you change your mind. Just make sure you've discussed finances and everything else before moving in together.
(Like Steph, I'm also Canadian and as a country we're not religious the way the US or a lot of other countries are. So... nobody here really cares or looks at it as "living in sin.")

You're obviously pretty young.
Yes, I do live with my boyfriend. We've been dating for about a year 1/2 now and have been living together for a little over a year.
Yes, my parents know about it.
When my boyfriend asked me to move in with him, I simply told my parents that I'd be moving out.
It doesn't really matter if they accepted it or not because I'm a grown woman.
I don't know what "what if his married during his early days but it been 4 years ago? (wrong marriage you know)" means. You should probably use better grammar next time.
Also, I'm not too sure what you getting an annulment/divorce has to do with living with a boyfriend.

I recently moved in with my fiance. We decided that I would move into his house right after we became engaged. We had dated for 3 years, and for a little over the last year, my apartment had been nothing but an expensive storage facility. So...we're taking the money we're saving and putting it toward the wedding.
Our parents do know. They would prefer for us to wait until after we're married to live together, but it's not a big problem for them. I just told my mom that my partner and I had decided to get married and that I was moving into his house when my lease expires. I was pretty nervous about telling her, but she's so excited that we're getting married that she took the 'moving in' news really well. Also, we're in our 30's and are deeply committed to each other.
This is just my personal opinion, but I think that if you're going to live with your partner, it's very wise to make a committment to stay together before you move in. I say this not as a statement of morality, but of practicality. I would not have moved in with my fiance had we not already decided to stay together (which for us means getting married).

I am living with my fiance.
I lived with my parents when we met, so when I was planning on moving I told mom and dad about it (they met him way before I told them about moving). From Feb 2003 to July 2004 we lived 2 1/2 hours from each other. They accepted my moving just fine.
He has never been married.
Our timeline:
Met: Feb 2003
Official Dating: March 2003
Moved in together: July 2004
Engaged: August 2006
Wedding date: June 2008

when I moved to VA from PA my then boyfriend (he's now my fiance) quit his job and moved down with me (don't worry he found an ever better paying job). My parents didn't care. In fact my father was really happy that I wouldn't be living alone and he's be there to "protect me" ['m the baby in the family and even though I'm 23 he still worries about me]. I didn't have to tell them I was living with him, they kinda knew it was it inevitable since he was applying to jobs down there to begin with. The only thing I had to tell them was, "I got a job. I'm moving to Virginia...next week". That's the only thing that took them by surprise.
But if you're an adult it shouldn't matter what your parents think. Its your life. They wouldn't have to support you financially, so ultimately its your decision.

well I'm married now, but I moved in with the guy I'm married to when I was 19...we got married about 7 months after that. I just told my parents I was moving out. they already figured I was going to move in with him. they were both ok with it becuase first off...there was nothing they could do about it and second, they knew I wanted to be out on my own and so they expected it sooner or later. my mom cried the day I left, but other then that she was ok. its been 3 years now since I left home and to be honest...my parents say they enjoy the peace and quiet. and we actaully get along better now.

i am currently living with my boyfriend of a year. we moved in together 10 months ago, my parents took it well i guess. i really didnt even tell them right away. when i did they seemed ok. he was still married when he moved in with me, has 2 kids, and no job. the only issue my parents seem to have is that he is unemployed at the moment. i've told them i dont care. the only feelings that matter right now are his and mine, no one else. love always finds a way to make it easier, really. even if there are tough times, and trust me there are, it all works out for the best.
good luck
