Love: Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really...

Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really sweet the whole way there, and once we got there he introduced me as 'the girl I'm going to marry'. His parents took one look at me and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed, because I thought they were joking. They weren't. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML

Today, despite all of the pictures and proof of my fiancé, my parents still think I have an imaginary boyfriend. They met him, and were there when he proposed. They think it's all a joke. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me at his parents' house. I was overjoyed. His mom hugged me with tears in her eyes. His father, who never really spoke before, hugged me a few hours later when we were alone, his hands traveling to my ass and whispering, "I can change your mind." FML

Today, I planned on introducing my fiancé to my parents. After the introductions, and telling him how I hoped our relationship would have the same amount of love and commitment that has lasted my mother and father for 25 years, my parents awkwardly announced their imminent divorce. FML

Today, my parents met my fiancée's parents for the first time in a large family gathering two weeks before our formal wedding. Both sets of parents were telling funny stories about our pasts. My dad's story won. He told how I spent a week in jail earlier this year. FML

Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

Today, I met my fiancé's parents for the first time. The only problem was that I was highly intoxicated. FML

Well seeing as you got engaged before meeting his parents i'm assuming you hadn't been dating for very long. So it's quite possible that it wasn't anything against you, The "Are you sure" could of meant "Are you sure you want to get married, you haven't been dating long"

Be optimistic. Maybe they were testing their sons love for you (as unconditional and incontestable) and trying to assess if your marriage would be genuine?

Were you dressed slutty or inappropriately? Major facial tatts? Nasty piercings? Fun and funky hair? That can be overwhelming for parents.

Why should we take marriage that seriously ? Who cares ? If two persons want to officialize their relationship by getting married, even if it doesn't last more than a couple of years, so what ? When marriage was actually until death, people died at 35, maybe 40.. and it had nothing to do with the couple's desire (it was always a family arangement) Besides the OP is marrying her fiancé, not his parents.

Someone whose partner's parents don't live within driving distance, maybe?

Well, the parents could be living in another country, or the parents and the son/daughter may not be on good terms with the parents, or a whole bunch of other possibilities.
