I was in the first term of my fourth year, when we drove to Toronto, and announced our engagement to my parents. It was not a great experience. Basically my mom looked at my dad, and said, 'Now what are we going to do?'.
We got married the following August, and now 3 yrs later, they love him dearly, and we all get along.
BTW, I agree with your folks wrt the wedding. We spent 4K on an open bar, and a reception at the Holiday Inn. thats all we needed. I did not want anything more expensive, as I could not have lived with myself , seeing all that dough going out on one party. Our Honey moon was a long weekend in Quebec City, then it was back to work/school for us.
Don't get worked up about making the right appearance. nobody will remember your reception 10 yrs from now, but that money will make a good nest egg.
