Hello all! I was not really sure where to post this, so I came here. I'm Breyanna, my fiance David and I have been together for 3 1/2 years and engaged for 2. We have finally set a date and have begun planning out wedding for March 1st, 2014. We are both incredibly excited, couldn't love each other more and have a wonderful support system from his family and all of our friends. However, over to my side, my family is completely against the wedding and do not care for David at all. They have felt this way since day one. The biggest reason they say they do not care for him, is they claim he is lazy and has no drive to do something with his life. However he works two jobs and supports himself fully. He is wonderful to me, is very supportive of everything I do and wish to do. He is my best friend, all day, every day. I have always had issues with my parents and how they feel about things, however this is the toughest situation our differences has ever put me in. We have not told them we set the date (just did so yesterday), and honestly I'm just not sure how to tell them about it. My dad has made it clear in the past he would never support my marriage to David in any way, shape or form, so I do not expect him to walk me down the aisle or attend the wedding at all. We decided to get married at David's home church, which is about 2 3/4 hours away from my family, so I am sure that will not go over great either. I love my family dearly, but my dad most of all has made it a point to make me choose between him and my fiance. It truly breaks my heart, but I have to do whats right for me and my life. Anyhow, I guess I am just asking for some support, maybe some advice from anyone who has been in this situation?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post
