My in-laws were the same way to me--they HATED me and threatened to disown my future wife if we actually went thru with the wedding--which they were NOT going to pay for anyway. So, we did elope, we just ran away as soon as we turned 21 and never looked back. That was 35 years ago. We kept our marriage secret from them for over 2 years. My mother-in-law finally was told, and gave us a small reception. She died 3 years later, by which time we were very close. My wife died 2 years ago, after 33 years of marriage--I always felt bad that my late mother-in-law missed so many of those few years she might have had with us. Do what you need to do to be happy, never mind the parents.
