My fiancé 24M and I 23F met when we were 18 and 19, and have been together for around 5 years. We’ve had an absolutely amazing relationship, and he’s been so caring and considerate the entire time we’ve been together, and has shown me he has a heart of gold. We are set to get married next August, at the same time as I’m overjoyed to be marrying the love of my life, I’m dreading what it’s going to be like once our families meet. For context, my family is EXTREMELY liberal/democrat/leftist. In addition to overall political beliefs, my biological father is also a transgender woman, so I have two moms, She is very open with how she presents herself and dresses accordingly. I also have a really long and complicated history with her, and our relationship has been strained, but I love her non the less. On my Fiancés side, he comes from an EXTREMELY religious and conservative family, who are vocally against trans and lgbt people. (My fiancé doesn’t share their beliefs and has made that clear to both them and me) he also has a complicated relationship with his family but loves them too. I have met his family, and beliefs aside they are friendly people and seem to like me well enough even though I’m not catholic. However, so far our families have never met each other, nor have I discussed details about my parents with his family. Now with our wedding approaching I’m realizing we will have address it somehow, I don’t want to leave my family out of our celebration, or exclude his family either, but I’m sure there will be questions and possibly some negative outcomes if both families attend the wedding together. What would be the smartest thing to do?
