We want to get married and settle by the age of 24. But the girls mom and dad and family insist on getting her married. They want to start searching for a bride from now. Both of us don't want that. We are scared about telling them about our relation because they may get us married much earlier than 24. We feel 24 is the right age for both of us to get married and won't raise an eyebrow in the society. If we tell them about us, we fear that we might have to walk around in both our family circles for the next 2 years with our heads down and people talking behind our backs.
How do i proceed?

Hi,
This the time you have to clear all the things to your parents about your relation and your thinking is also right about you want to settle at 24. Go to our parents and clear all the things every thing will set. I hope it will work for you dare and do.. All the best

you guys are right for 22 is not the age to get married. I personally believe mothers can understand much better compared to father. Why do't you guys talk to your mother and they may be able to help you out in providing better solution.
