Quick question please, Yes or No response

The OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't get the impression that this is about objecting to the marriage per se.

The issue seems to be the wisdom or ethics of keeping something from very dear friends which the OP may feel they should know about.

Exactly. I referred the confidentialities to a family elder.
 
I have read that domestic disputes are one of the most dangerous things that LEOs get involved in. If it's not harming me or what's mine there's no way I'm going to get involved in other peoples family. They reared their children so let them deal with the consequences in their own way in their own time. Larry
 
No.

If it comes up later, and you're asked, "didn't you know?," explain that you puzzled over the best course, and made what you thought was the best decision out of respect and consideration for your friend.

Meanwhile, let's all wish the young couple well. They are the two that matter here. It's a big, big step, and a tough one to make at 19. Fraught with danger, and anger, on all sides, and nothing to sustain them but their love for one another. But for the lucky, the blessed, as some of us know, that is more than enough.

Here's hoping they make it!

If you thought the nineteen year old daughter of some very dear friends had married her nineteen year old boyfriend (all parents are best friends) would you mention it or just let it go?

What strikes me Colby..(And don't take it wrong),,,You "THOUGHT" the girl had married her boyfriend...

Don't you know, one way or the other?..

What makes you suspect they are married?


As other before me have given their opinion..mine too is.... Let sleeping dogs lay...

I had a family member that was 13 when she ran off with her 14 year old boyfriend to West Texas to run a ranch. They finally got married and their family's finally accepted/forgave them. I think they where married for 75 plus years before one of them passed. They where my Great Aunt and Uncle. Love is love, no use trying to change or interfere.
 
If the couple did, in fact, get married it may cause some rift or hard feelings within the two families. Those families will look for someone to blame for these feelings. If an outsider has entered the picture with "news" of the event they will quickly become the target of one or both families anger. If you value yourself,stay out of it.
