Scenario 1: Your child comes home with a boy/girl and says they are their new spouse. How do you react?

You’re upset they didn’t consult you, but you don’t let them know that. Instead, you smile and welcome the spouse to the family, regardless of their origins.

You’re initially angry they didn’t consult you, but you soon ask about their spouse’s familial background. If they’re from a good family, you’ll accept the marriage, but if from poverty, you’ll lock your child in their room and forbid them from seeing their love again.

You’re shocked you had no previous knowledge of this marriage. You ask in private about their ties and upbringings and care, but if your child really wants to be with them, you’ll be happy for them.

Doesn’t stress about it because your child will do it no matter what you say.

Discuss their wedding and prices and throw money their way

You’re more nonchalant than you are happy for them, but you don’t oppose their decision either.

As long as they are of higher class ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As long as they are happy that’s all that matters. If they're happy i’m happy. What can I do to help with the wedding?
