Hello JusUs,
I am 18 and have been seeing a 21-year-old college man for the past two years. Both of us were the products of teen-age marriages. Our parents met in high school, married shortly thereafter, and had children in their 20s. Our parents are happy and have stayed together. However, both sets of parents have tried to "warn" us not to be tied down so young; that we should have more experience before selecting a mate. It's like they are saying, "Don't do what we did."
My mom has gone as far as to say she will not attend nor be a witness to us marrying so young.
My boyfriend and I have discussed this and decided we're very happy together we want to marry. I don't see the point in playing the field when I am already with the man I wholeheartedly love and enjoy. He feels the same about me.
He wants to elope but I've dreamed of this beautiful wedding. If our parents and family won't be there to support us, then how can I plan it. We both want the end result, to be married but I'm hoping my family and his will at least accept our engagement. I know that you may agree that we're young but we both feel this way. Not everyone find a soul mate in their lifetime, I've found mine. What is so wrong with being in love? Help, what do you think?
