 Why is your dad gonna freak out ?Any specific reason ? Like, he does not like your boyfriend,or does he feel you are too young,or what ?
Well,maybe you are a bit young to get married, then again it seems by now you have all your ducks in a row. You have been dating this guy 4 years, you are graduating and gettting a job,he makes good money,you will have a nice place to live...it does not sound like a foolish or rush move, so I am not sure why it is raising such a big opposition.
I'd say - if you love him,make yourself happy, not your mom. Married or not,you are old enough to decide by yourself where you want to live and with whom.
and don't worry- give it a few months and your parents too will get into full "parents of the bride " mode..
