My boyfriend’s Christian family, mixed with my not so religious family..?

Question by xsunshineoxx: My boyfriend’s Christian family, mixed with my not so religious family..?
So my boyfriend and I got into talking about marriage the other day. He’s in the military and lives on his own. His father doesn’t believe in dating, he is a very strict Christian, Pastor, and he manages a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. We have been dating now for about 3 years, and his father thinks we’re courting. (only seeing each other in the presence of others, not being alone) My family loves him to death. BUT ANYWAYS.. We got into talking about marriage. And he brought up what the reception would be like. My family is not religious AT ALL, and his is very! But the thing is is that he keeps bringing it up that there could not be any alcohol there, and he’s afraid of how our families would interact. My family is very up-beat and social, they would want to dance, and drink, and have a good time. His family seems like they would want something more sit down, eat, and talk. I think my boyfriend would almost be more interesting in pleasing his parents, then making it the most special day of my life. I just don’t know exactly how to go about resolving the situation.

Not having alcohol is fine. You don’t have to worry about people driving home drunk. As for the rest, it’s a celebration. You are there to celebrate and have fun. Don’t let his family stop you. BTW, your boyfriend should grow a pair when it comes to his parents. He is an adult and does not need mommy and daddy’s permission to date or do things their way. He should do what he wants to do without fear.
