As a parent myself, PC, I'm going to be blunt and frank about this. If you feel you can't tell them and they eventually find out and are hurt, it's too bad, brought on by the parents themselves. They have a lovely daughter who cannot share THE most important day in her life with them; that is just SO, SO sad! I don't know your parents and I don't want to judge them, but, for some unknown reason, they aren't letting you grow up in their eyes and want you to stay their little girl. Why should you feel guilty for being in love? It is YOUR life, after all!

I think that is why, some of us fail as parents. We have children but refuse to see them take their own path, especially if we are rigid and want them to do what we hand envisioned for them!

Only you know, PC, when you can tell them. The wrong advice here could have you out their door (which is something I don't understand). Why would they hate you forever, and why were they so upset when you got engaged?
