Each situation is different from another. some guys have been told not to come home at December unless with their fiancee/fiance and some are being called every week and being asked the question of Marriage et al. But the main issue is your age, your maturity/composure and level of independency.

can't really eleborate on those points now but you should get what i mean. So telling them is a simple thing because they will even guess before you tell them sometimes. But it depends on a lot of things.

between, no parent will be sad that their Son/Daughter is getting married unless - - - - - - -

My Dear chap! Have you introduce your fiancĂ©/fiancĂ©e to both parent? If Yes there's no two ways about it, Firstly let them know when you're ready for Know me  know you. At the day of your know me know you, is when you and your spouse will be ask to choose a date. Cool Furthermore let me give you piece of advice   (1) Both for You shouldn't borrow for marriage ceremony.(Money) (2) Do it according to your pocket because marriage is for a lifetime not the ceremony!  Stay Bless and Have a successful Marriage life.

I told them:

Somebody would be coming to our house this evening, please look at him very well and access him if you want, when he leaves, i would tell you the purpose of his visit.

He came and left, I told them: He wants to marry me and I love him.

Hmm, experiences will differ, an interesting topic though.

I didn't get the chance to tell my parents, as they were late by the time I got married, bless them.

pseg,  ahhhh,  its not funny, i think its the best way to do this especially if you may be shy, you just make it funny.

@ poster 
What your parents are looking for is the confidence in you, your decision and your reasons.

Like i said, he wants to marry me and I LOVE HIM.  It summarises it all.  That means, i have considered all others and have chosen him as my best choice. If you don't emphasize the love, they would begin to ask further questions.

Also, i felt there was no need to disclose how long we have been dating, though they may have been seeing him around me, i had not told them earlier his intentions, they only knew him as my friend, so when he was ready, i just made everything OPENDENTIAL. Smiley
