I don't agree with the belief that a woman leaves her "father's house" and goes to her "husband's house." Many people do, even if they have less blatant ways of articulating it. I much more understand the couple going to both sets of parents and saying "hey, we're talking marriage...we want to include you in this process...although, we're getting married regardless of your opinion...and don't give us hell during this process or you'll lovingly get cussed out."

lol lol lol hilarious!
