... josh finally told his parents we were planning to get married next oct. Ive been bugging him about it so we could get a head count of guests so we could start looking at prices for venues. his mom was quick to hug and congratulate but then she ruined it by immediately following the congrats with " ill pray you come to the church before that"

You have support from friends? *waves little congrats flags*

That's really too bad. Sounds like you guys need to drop your close buddies a text to head to Tahoe for a weekend. :P

Or, we could all run to the beach or the forest and Kevin could marry you.

Whenever you make a life changing decision that your parents can't understand, they'll treat you like you're a little kid again. Trust me, I'm 26 and still getting that treatment from my folks. (Which explains the lack of communication). I think it's partially just that they don't want their kids to live as hard of lives as they've sometimes lived. Granted, I don't know much about either you or Josh's folks, but I'm going to guess that in the end they likely mean well.

All of that aside, congratulations guys!

First I've heard of it, but then again I'm a bit of a recluse sometimes I suppose. Congratulations, both of you :D Give Josh a big hug for me and my congrats. You know you've always got us to fall back on even when your family fails you. Like Amy always says, we're the family you chose, and we've got your back no matter what o_ob
