Thank you so much for the advice. When I talked with my mom I did try to address some of her concerns, but she never really let the conversation get to the point where she was willing to accept the engagement was close enough to discuss the concerns she had. I actually have talked to my dad about his concerns, and the impression I got from him was that both he and my mom are worried Greg and I are too young to get engaged and get married. I know they're just worried that I'm making the right decision, but I don't know how to convince them I know he's the one. If we have to wait then we have to wait and I'm okay with that, because the end result is still the same; however I would rather not have to wait three years to get engaged like my parents want me to. I've got several tough years of school ahead of me, and having Greg there helps me deal with the stress because I know at the end of the day I can always come home and get a hug and he'll tell me everything will be alright. Without us being married he's at least an hour away from school, and moving in together before we're married isn't an option unless I end up going to vet school out of state. Did anyone else have a problem convincing their parents they weren't too young (keep in mind I'm 21 and he's 24)? And if so, how did you change their minds?
