Shotgun wedding-help! She's pregnant! How can we get our parents to back off from pushing marriage?

In fact I would advice everyone not to get married anymore. The lawyers will lose billions. I married a slut and she sole money from me and she wouldn't allow me to claim a dependent. If it weren't for marrying this slut I wouldn't have made the bad decisions I made. Because this whore had two children of her own. I ahd to provide a place for them to sleep. Then her ex-husband came looking for a fight and he got his ass kicked. His daughter lied for him in court. This was because I married a coke whore. Marriuage is the answer if you marry a decent girl into a decent family. This is what marriage is for. But marrying a coke whore is a slap in the face to the insitution of marriage.

Issue one: breaking condom etc
She wanted a child, I wanted to wait a while. She took the initiative (not for the first time) and.... I don't blame her-I can be a bit too play-it-safe-never-change-status-quo. No, after i really thought about the situation. I'm ecstatic. I'm going to be a father.
Issue two: parents
We stood up to them and, after quite a few threats on their side, none of which could really affect us (I never noticed it before, but the only power they had over me was my emotions) they gave in.
Issue three: marriage
Not yet. A year or so, maybe. There's no rush.

Oh, and while i was researching a reason to stop my parents telling me to get married, i stumbled along this:
'Marriage is bad. It's a leading cause of divorce'
Just thought I'd share.

Rob, congrats to you on your little one that will be joining you soon - and for standing up for what you feel is right. Awesome.

Cute quote, love it.

Been a bit busy lately (naturally) and just thought I'd announce, as of three months ago, I have a daughter.
I'm happy about it (who wouldn't be?) and our parents are happy about being grandparents (despite feeling old) enough to stop bothering us. Suffice to say, it worked out pretty well.

Just thought I'd share a funny story, that happened a while ago; after she told me she was pregnant, we planned a joke on our parents. They'd just built an arbor, so we decided to take some photos. First of all, I started, saying: "everybody say cheese"
Then my girlfriend took a photo, with the phrase: "I'm going to have a baby"
We've still got the photo of their expressions!
