When you find yourself only wanting to hang out with one another on weekends and when you are both willing to pay one each others bills.
Least that's how it was for me, after being married now for almost five years I think it was the right decision though I do have my moments of doubt (which I am sure everyone does).

That's cute, trying to justify it to yourself like that.

Everyone gets their moments of doubts or their moments of "I wonder what would have happened if we didn't get married....." or "***** you, you pissed me off for the last time I'm moving to Fiji and finding me a boy toy." Wait, is that last thought just me?
It's normal. And it's normal to power through the problems, get through the issues and go on.

What?! You mean I can't just walkout and leave her and the kids behind? ****!
Donate. One day it could be your family.

It is sad that people never give a great relationship a chance and just bail because it seems the easier route. Yeah there are times when my wifey brings my blood to a boil but there are 54,675,879 other times where she makes me happy, excited, comfortable, aroused, loved, etc. There is seriously no one else on this planet I think that would ever put up with my ******** and still show me so much love <3
Semi-related problem: People seem to think I'm not marriage material because I'm white. What's up with that?
You're living on the wrong side of the planet.

More like I want to get married to the wrong side of the planet.
Seriously, my flatmate assumes just because I happen to be European and raised in a communist environment I can't stay married to any guy for more than 3 years. Other reasons might be true, but meh.

You do bounce around a lot.
Just as Planned.

Actually, how do people go about telling their parents that they want to get married? Under any circumstances.
I guess that would depend on how long they've known your S.O. You could always try "We want to get married!"

Is that a trick question?

Assuming you don't have a close relationship with your parents or they don't approve.
I love my parents, and I love her parents, but their approval is pretty irrelevant when it comes to our lives. "You're too young to get married." "You're too young to have children!" "We're too young to be grandparents!" "Untie us and let us out of the trunk!" Just whine whine whine.

Funny story about that. When Ray and I got engaged, I already knew my parents were going to flip out for a number of reasons, so I hid the engagement for a couple of weeks until my dad asked me point blank. I told him we were engaged, but I didn't want to say anything until he and my parents got to know one another better. He got really upset (which was completely my fault since I was such a wuss about the situation). And then my mom noticed that my dad was sad/upset so she badgered my dad until he told her.
Which turned into a massive Filipino family melt down. Lots of eating, lots of crying, lots of yelling, lots of eating again.
Should have had the sackage at the age of 22 to be upfront with my parents to say "Hey, I met this guy, he's great, we've already talked marriage, even though it's only been a month of dating. I want you to meet him and I know that you think we're rushing things, but I'm really happy and I want you to see how happy I am when we're together." Instead, I did it in a really dumb way that really hurt my family and took awhile for healing on all sides.

This reminds me how much I miss my ex. Well, her being a Filipino. This situation could describe almost every party her family threw, except usually more of the food and less of the crying. Still lots of yelling though.
Filipino families sound like my worst nightmare.

Best. Food. Ever. And the best family parties I've ever been to. For News Years last year they had a role of tickets and handed one out to every person who came in. Every 5 minutes a ticket was pulled; if it was yours, you had to either take a shot or sing a song on the karaoke machine. Even her 80+ year-old grandmother was called on to do it; they only forced the underage kids to sing.
But as said, craziness too. At one point her cousin was hit in the head with a frozen chicken. Good times, man, good times.

They can't meet him before the wedding; logistical reasons.
My mum at least will also have a lot to say about it regardless - he's her worst nightmare in exactly two ways. I know her well enough to be reasonably sure she'll just focus on those two things and ignore everything that she would normally really approve off (because with everything else, we're a perfect match as far as she should be concerned).
It's funny because his family is an issue also, but they're actually more likely to get over it with time.
And then there's the language barrier on both sides. Fun times.
Thumb, your story was interesting. In a good way.
As I said, total @#%^ing nightmare for me.
edit: Kali, your mom is ************ and if I were you I'd stop caring about what she thinks and tell her in a "you either approve of it and shut up or get the **** out of here" way.

So tempted to move to Saudi Arabia to spite her if she disowns me.
Except that would probably be a bad idea.
The thing is, she has my money. Loads of it. She's actually "saving up" the money I get paid now rather than giving it to me. Because of this I cannot go to Pakistan. Grrr.
