I have been in a relationship for three years and on the verge of getting married. My boyfriend's parents approved but my parents are hesitant on the grounds that they aren't comfortable with my boyfriend for no apparent reason. What should I do? We are at our final stages and this makes me stressed. Please assist

If you have no idea why your parents don't like your fiance, you have not paid very close attention to them all these years. Unless they are the type of people who enjoy saying "I told you so" then I am sure you should be able to surmise why they don't like your future husband. If, on the other hand, they are the "told you so" kind of jerks then be sure you love him and do't look back. Also don't bring "I left my parents for you" into the marrage...ever. Your marrage is about the two of you, not your friends, relatives or siblings. If it is right and meant to be you should be just as willing to get married alone with your witnesses as you would with all the pomp most people want at their weddings. You can never predict the future, but you do need to be sure that you can love this person through thick and thin over time. If the fundaments are there then you have a chance.

If you really love him and think that you cannot live without him and same is from his side then dont care for anyone in this world, just go ahead and do marriage with that boy by hook or crook but be sure, have confidence in urself that u r marrying a right boy. We rarely find a true love and if you have found that then dont look at anybody even ur parents bec's at the end u r the only one who has to suffer if you love him and not marry him.

That's not enough information, why are they not comfortable with him?
