Helo,
Im a small town girl from Indiana. I've lived with some very traditional and grounded family members for my whole life. I am 20 years old and my boyfriend and best friend is 19. I have graduated from cosmetology school, and have begun to work hard on building my career. My boy friend will be starting school in the fall majoring in law enforcement and communications. We have been together for two years and have been best friends for way longer. We have been through A LOT together, and have been talking about taking the next step into marriage. We feel that since he is entering a two year program in school, and I will already be well established, we have been kind of planning a wedding for May of 2011. I feel this is resonable. I am very fearfull of what our parents will think of it since they are both very old fashioned! I asked my mother what she would think about a plan like that "if we had one", and she said NO. She wants us to wait till he is out of school and we are both established for a good few years. I think not, but I don't want to disrespect my family. I feel we are old enough to make our own choices, but I want my family to be happy for us, not resentfull! HELP ME!!
