Having been there, I do have to agree that you need to stick up for yourself through any method you feel appropriate. My parents didn't approve of my choice either, and even after we were married, it took a major argument between my parents and I before things improved. Now, years later, they see that we were meant to be and while they aren't the best of friends, she is accepted and respected as my wife and more importantly, as an equal.
