How do I get support from my parents if I want to travel abroad and get married?

I think you can fully communicate with your parents during the wedding ceremony. For example, you should let your parents understand why you want to travel abroad to get married instead of holding a wedding locally. First of all, let your parents understand your thoughts, so that the plan of traveling to get married can go smoothly. I think parents can be persuaded from the following perspectives, which you can refer to.

1. Discuss and hold several weddings based on economic conditions

Most of the parents’ ideas are relatively traditional. They believe that a grand wedding must be held locally, and then Invite relatives and friends to visit. This type of marriage is more ceremonial and makes them feel face-saving. And other people get married according to this traditional custom. If you want to go against the norm and get married while traveling, you will definitely be opposed. Moreover, you must have the support of your parents to hold a wedding in order to have a happy wedding. This is where you have a headache. If financial conditions permit, I think it is possible to hold a real-life wedding locally according to the parents' requirements. Then after the wedding, you and your partner will travel abroad to get married. This way, the feelings of both parties will be taken into account, and you won't break up with your parents.

2. Communicate with parents about the significance of travel marriage

But most young people usually do not have enough funds to hold several weddings. And traveling to get married is what many young people want to do, because they think such a wedding is very romantic and meaningful. Because young people think that holding a traditional wedding is very cumbersome and troublesome, requiring many things to be prepared long in advance, and the ritual steps are too complicated. They feel that travel wedding is also a form of wedding, as long as it has commemorative significance. In fact, from this point of view, we must fully communicate with parents and tell them the benefits of traveling to get married, such as being more affordable, more convenient, and not having to work hard. Parents may think that holding a traditional wedding is to recover the money that goes with the wedding. This is where the dispute between the two parties lies. In fact, very few people will collect participatory money from weddings nowadays, and parents must be clearly informed of this.
