Okay, so I am 21 years old and my fiance of three years is 25 years old. His older brother who lives in Florida is getting married in November, and we got the invitation in May when my fiance just moved here from Minnesota. At the time, my fiance didn't have a job and we were talking about his brother's wedding with my mom. My mom was saying to tell his brother that he really wants to go but doesn't have the means to get there, and see if maybe he would help us out and we could go. We both heard her say we, as in my fiance and I.
My parents are kind of traditional and very overprotective. I know my dad would definitely be against Jonathan and I going out of town alone, even to a family event. I'm not sure what their reasoning would be, either that it's disrespectful because we're not married or that they think we're like some hormonal teenagers but I'm sure they wouldn't really let me go. I've been on birth control for six months now and never miss a pill, and I know how else to take precautionary measures. And that's not even why I want to go, I want to meet some of his family, and this may be one of my only chances because his family is very spread out. As I said, he used to live in Minnesota and I met him online, so I've never met even his parents. Yes, I do want alone time with him, but I want it in the most innocent sense.
I feel that I should be able to go to the wedding with Jonathan because we are adults, we can both pay for our way there and back on our own, and we would more than likely be staying with some of Jonathan's family members so it's not like we'd be getting a hotel room together for a week. And this isn't like some guy I've been dating for a few months or even a year, he is someone my parents know and like and we're serious and are going to be wed as soon as we can. ' But how am I supposed to bring this up to my parents? I know my mom said "maybe we could go" but I feel like she just said that because at the time it was very unlikely that we'd get to go. If I remind her that she said that, I know she would turn around and say "I don't remember saying that, I didn't say that."
Am I wrong or being disrespectful in wanting to go? My intentions are pure, but I don't think my parents would see it from my point of view..
