Hey guys! So I'm engaged!!! I'm so excited and sure he's the one! I'll give you all the background info. Plz read and help me! I'm 19 so is he. I turn 20 in July and he turns 20 in May. His names Austin. Anyways I'm a college student getting degrees (double major) in criminal justice and biochemistry. He wants to get a degree in criminal justice. He's currently active duty Air Force. We've been together for a year and some. He's living on base in the dorms still. He should get out soon especially if we get married b4 he's out. I still live at home with my parents and 3 brothers (ages 17, 10, and 5). It's much cheaper than campus housing lol. He lives about 40-50 mins away from me in a smaller town (base is by the town). So we're currently living in different towns. He spends weekends here with my family. I see him mostly just on weekends but some week days too. Anyways I'm 1100% sure he's the one. I don't trust and I'm anti social and I love being with him and trust him it's weird. Everything's different with him and I'm so happy. We've been through a lot together. From all the shit the AF had put us thro, and I had a miscarriage, and two wrecks, and he "cheated" but I moved on and forgave him and now keep gabs on him and trust him again. The cheating was more of him experimenting with a guy. (No sex don't worry). He checked guys out on fb and got curious so he let a dude blow him and he couldn't even get hard and stopped it. Weve moved on from that though. I've forgiven him. But my point is we've been thro so much. We always come out stronger. We both are just so tired of the distance and wanna be together and married. My parents are harsh Christians. So obviously they don't know about the miscarriage and our sex lives and all of that. They absolutely love Austin. He took leave spring break and asked my dad the old school way if he could marry me. We had been talking about eloping for a while before this. We even met with an officiant and put a downpayment down and set a date. Parents don't know about the date yet. I wanted to ease them into this. My dad said yes when he asked and both of them have been extremely extremely excited since. They seem to think we will Finnish our degrees first and that will be in about 2-4 years. However we want to elope August 10th. We have figured it out

Financially and we're set. Do you guys think 1. I'm being dumb? And 2. If we (me and Austin) present our financial plan and explain lain our reasoning my parents will be ok with this? I know I'm an adult and I know it's my choice but I really want no drama and I just want everyone to be excited. So no harsh comments please. Thanks ladies. I think I covered everything I needed.
