Thank you!

My parents took it ok. At first, they didn't like the idea of me getting married and moving to another country (especially my dad) but they wanted me to be happy so overall they were supportive. I didn't expect them to be supportive at all. They are happy for me and not so worried anymore that I married a mormon. yes, I am in the States now. My fiancee (now husband ) and I did tons of paperwork and went through a long immigration process that took almost a year.

hey I just wanted to thank you guys for advice you gave me over a year ago and share some news on my story with you. First of, I got baptized 6 months ago. And... I got married. yay!

Thank you guys for your posts! They encouraged me much and made me think one more time about some things! :) I think it's always hard for some people to find words to tell your parents about getting married even if you have the same religion and you live in the same city. I just wish my boyfriend was with me so we could talk to my parents together

He has proposed.. 2 times I don't have a ring though. He does not have lots of money since he has to pay for college and plane tickets (to come visit me) which are very expensive

We've been on long-distance relationship for way too long. It's been 3 and a half years. We never broke up or dated someone else during 3 years of our relationship^_^ I think we don't need to wait longer. I do want to join the church. I want to get baptized, go to the temple with my future husband, have a happy marriage. And I can do it only in this church which is the only true church. My boyfriend and I decided to live in the US since 1) we want to have kids sometime and we think that it will be better for them to grow up there. 2) he still has 2 years of college and i am graduating in like 2 months

My boyfriend is a Mormon (24) and I am not (21) (I am a real good friend of Church, I do want to get baptized but my parents are against it). A little bit of pre-history: We met on his mission. When he got home, we started communicating over the Internet, that's how our relationship started. Then he came back to visit me. In a year, I went to visit him. My parents knew nothing about us, because they are pretty anti-mormon people. In one more year, it was his turn to visit me. My boyfriend and I both realized that we can't conceal our relationship forever and that's when we decided that I should tell my parents that an American friend of mine is coming and he needs a place to stay. They were pretty welcoming and happy to have a foreigner stay with us... but I didn't tell them he is a Mormon. Eventually, they realized themselves he is a Mormon and they didn't know how to feel about it. Obviously they were not happy about it, especially my Dad. We didn't tell them he is a Mormon on purpose, because since they are prejudicial, I wanted them to see that he is just as normal as other people (they never met Mormons). My boyfriend and I started talking about marriage long time ago. Both of us want it. I already feel I am a part of his family. His family accepts me and knows our plans. I don't know how to tell my parents about marriage. It is not just me marrying a Mormon, but also leaving my country. My parents will not approve it because for them it's me leaving to a foreign country with a Mormon stranger. I am not close with my parents and I just don't have guts to start a conversation with them. This situation makes me so depressed.

Hi everyone! I accidentally came across this forum and i am loving it.
