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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came out to my parents. They still think I'm joking. FML
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 "he 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 introduced my long-distance boyfriend of 2 years to my friends. I told him how my friends jokingly call him my imaginary Internet boyfriend. He thought it was so funny that when they met, he claimed to be my cousin, saying that I paid him to pretend to be my boyfriend. They believed him. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a ring for my birthday. My dad now refuses to talk to me, because he thinks I'm engaged. My boyfriend thinks it's funny, because he'd never marry me. FML
Today, I found out that me having a boyfriend is an on-going family joke. FML
Today, I was supposed to get married. Instead, my sister made up a story about me cheating on my fiancé at the bachelorette party. He bought it and dumped me, despite there being no evidence of this. Turns out it was all a plan because they were secretly seeing each other for months. FML
Today, I found out that my whole family thinks my girlfriend is imaginary. I sent her a text in front of them telling her that. She never responded. FML
Today, I bought a fake "wedding ring" at Target to play a prank on my parents. They kicked me out, saying my "fiancé" can take care of me now. There is no fiancé, and I just lost my job. FML
Today, I discovered my fiancé has been telling everyone else we are just friends, yet last night he wanted me to go with him to pick up my engagement ring. I'm supposing the wedding will be a surprise to everyone. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to the beach. His parents relentlessly tried to hook him with other girls, all the while knowing that we're dating. Their reasoning is that I'm not a 'real girlfriend.' FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe they saw all those movies where the girl hires an actor to propose to her. That's how I got my fiancé.

Ask the non-believers if the ring on your finger is fake or not. If they don't believe it, let a jeweler prove them otherwise.

Well, if they start laughing at the wedding, they're the ones who are gonna look like idiots, not you.

Age gaps? Different nationalities? Monetary differences? Time you've been together? I can only guess that there's a reason they think it's fake. Maybe they think it's visa related etc. That's what my parents thought of my engagement :)

it could be that they think he is too good for her an that she is maybe like the Meg of the family. (family guy reference)

They'll believe you when you show up on their doorstep with their grandchildren. Oh wait..I forgot people hire children for that too... Good luck convincing OP!

No, it wont, that will just make it all worse, that will just prove to them it's true.

They're probably in denial! They don't want their little girl getting married. Good luck OP!

I know how you feel. My parents did not even come to my wedding because they thought the whole thing was a joke. Give it 10 years or so and you may get an apology.
