We decided that we would be married on the ides of march so that it wouldn't fall on my fathers birthday. Everything was set a notary, a dress, and a date. We needed to break the news to our parents. This was an uncomfortable situation for both of us. Both of our parents lived far away and we both had been close to them. He being a single child his parents had attempted to provide everything for him. I had come from a small family also with only one sister and my parents had been very involved in my life though I had always been an independent child. I called my parents and it was more of an informative call than a conversation.
"Mom, dad, I'm getting married in a couple days. No I'm not pregnant, it's just something I want to do."
Though they tried to convince me to wait until they could come out or at least meet him, I felt that since this was something that would only affect my life permanently, I did not need their approval or presence.
"Have you called your parents?" I asked him "we're getting married tomorrow, I think you should call them today". He called and they asked him one question, "do you love her?" He answered yes and that was enough.
