  1. Nearly the exact same thing happened to me...I actually eloped after know the guy for two weeks.  After my family found out, boy oh boy did I hear it!  My mom actually asked me to get it annulled.  We are now divorced after only two years!

    During my divorce (funny how things work) I met the most amazing man I could dream of.  And after only two months he proposed!  When we told my family I was pretty nervous but they were completely supportive.  

    It sure goes a LONG way when your families like whoever you are with...so keep your hopes up and don't be afraid to get in another relationship.  You never know when you will meet your honey.


  2. No matter what the case may be, she should be happy for you.

    mine folks were exicted when i got engaged.  

  3. My parents weren't shocked by the news. They knew how my husband and I felt about one another. For the most part they were genuinely happy for us.

    We're still together, and December will mark our 7th anniversary. I hope to be happy like they are and see our 30th anniversary... and be with each other for the rest of our lives.

  4. She wasnt pissed, my family guessed it was coming though we had been together for 5 years. My friends on the other hand werent too happy about it, told me not to get married at my bacholrette party, should have listened, split up a year ago, we were married for 3 years. However, you CAN NOT listen to other people. You have to listen to yourself. Moms arent always right and neither are friends. You know best and YOU will be the one to live with this person regardless.  

  5. My mom told me to give the ring back. I was 17. I didn't give it back.  

  6. My parents and family was happy for us and so was my husbands.

  7. My parents try to be neutrally supportive about most of my decisions and choices coz we are the school of hard knocks family!  My hubby's family though they are all about chaotic drama and said just about everything negative they could and said what others said!  I finally got wise and told them I didn't want to hear it and what other people thought was none of my business.  It is still to this day 14 years later work for me not to get pulled into some of their stuff but  they have pretty much given up on me participating!

  8. Well, his family was excited for us. They congratulated us and gave us hugs and stuff.

    When we told my family (all together at a family BBQ), they all went dead silent. Then I piped up with, "And, I'm not pregnant." Then they all cheered and congratulated us:) Says a lot about my family, eh?!

  9. They said "IT'S ABOUT d**n TIME!!!"

  10. she didn't think it would work and did what she could to make it not work.  have been married now 21 years and witht the  same person 26 years.  so I guess she was wrong.  (religion thing).

  11. My mom just asked what was the point of even having an engagement.  She thought it was already obvious to everyone by that point that we would be getting married.

  12. My first wife, everyone was happy.  I ruined that.  My current moo moo lovins', my family was like "what, are you sure, aren't those cankles?"

  13. My parents said congrats.  They obviously didn't know best.

    When i asked her dad for permission he said, "Can you take her tomorrow?"  

    Think that should have been a red flag?

  14. My family just said " it is about time"
