Hello Daddy

[Sqad]

http://www.dailymail....-telling-parents.html

I would like you to meet my husband.........."Sorry, what is your name"

For a non racial discussion.

[squarebear]

A bit unconventional but she is a grown woman and good luck to them both.

[ummmm]

My Dad would've gone loop the loop if I did that. I actually think he would have smacked me.

[Sqad]

ummmm.....LOL.....why because you hadn´t told him that you were getting married OR......what you had turned up at the door with?.........LOL

[ummmm]

Mainly not telling him...

He wouldn't have been happy with the person either. He would have come round to that though...as long as I was happy.

[LoftyLottie]

I nearly did the same. We nearly got married without telling anybody, but in the end we did - they had six weeks notice. My parents would have been just as happy if we had not told them first. I have told my son that I would rather he do it without telling me. Would save me going to a wedding!!

[ummmm]

We went to a wedding recently where we received the invite on Friday night for the wedding that Sunday...

It was quite bizarre...

[boxtops]

Not a new story, sqad - obviously the wedding is! but I'd read before that she had joined a community in India very much in contrast with her previous life - but her friends and family have met the guy, it's just the wedding which is a surprise. I wish her very well indeed.

i have been invited to a wedding that is being done in secret (neither sets of parents knows). i think its a bit unfair myself and tempted not to go. there will be 6 people, including the bride and groom.

[WELSHYORKIE]

I would have gone balistic and re sqad @9.35 both!!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Go Ankou. The bride and groom have chosen that you be there. It is their day and their reasons for doing it in secret should be respected.

[LoftyLottie]

Why Welsh?

[Ankou]

"their reasons for doing it in secret should be respected"

acknowledged lofty. but their reasons are that they don't want the parents to interfere with the arrangements. they both get on very well with their respective parents (who are lovely) so my thoughts are that they could invite them, on the condition that they don't interfere. it just seems a bit harsh.

[mccfluff]

fair enough, if i got married i wouldn't tell my parents, i'd just do it

[boxtops]

Each to their own, though - nobody thinks it odd when a couple go off by themselves and get married in Los Angeles, then come back and have a party when they return.

[LoftyLottie]

I see Ankou. It would have been fairer to do all the arrangements themselves and then invite the parents, giving them just short notice!!

[ummmm]

Pixi - this was bizarre as the lads had just come back from another mates stag do. The groom, being the tight arse he is, pretended it was his stag do...lol. They got back on the Monday and we got the invite on the Friday. We presumed they'd forgotten about us until the brides Mother said she didn't get her invite until Saturday morning. They were all suited and booted like the wedding had been arranged...after the church we went to the football club. No music, not even a CD player, no food..nothing. We were promptly thrown out at 7pm when the bar closed.
