He's getting married in February. We all think he is too young and she is wrong for him. I mean I seriously think he is ruining his life. And I don't say that lightly.
He's pissed. I'm now in the Makers 46. I hate my fricking life.

STD rates, trafficking are not the only things that have gone down in Germany after legalizing prostitution, marriage rates too. No longer do men have to marry a woman to guarantee a regular supply of sex, less expensive too.
This also knocks women off their high horse, because once your increase the supply of women and decease the demand for sex, regular women stop acting like they are god's gift to the world and men think sensibly.

My wife has a good friend that got an annulment. I honestly don't know how, they were both pretty active church members and both engineers. I've been told if you make about a $1,000 'donation' it helps a lot, I'm Catholic though not very active so not trying to smack talk the Church.
We thought he was gay, he drank strawberry daiquirri's at football parties (routinely, no joke) and he did theater acting as a hobby. She banged her boss (probably multiple). He is apparently with another girl now and engaged or married, still blows my mind honestly. They divorced due to lack of passion (go figure).
But, they got an annulment after 3 years of marriage. Pretty typical divorce.

So what are some examples of why she sucks besides her not having a job, her "kooky" family and her "mental issues?"
I mean, sure, it sounds like he is making a mistake, but you aren't going to convince him if he thinks he is in love.
also, who is paying for the wedding if her parents are not, and they are both bums? Surely not you?

I'll never forget my father's words of advice the day before my wedding.
"Son, you've got a nice, reliable car and a tank full of gas. You can be half-way to Canada before she even knows you're gone."
Sage advice...

Slippy, I’m going to give you some advice that I wish someone had given my dad 17 years ago.
I got married when I was 21 (wife was 20). As you can imagine, my parents weren’t thrilled about it. But beyond that, they said some very hurtful and unsupportive things.
17 years later, my wife and I are still happily married and my relationship with my parents (particularly my dad) has never been the same.
Tell him how you feel. Tell him you think they should wait. It’s ok to be honest with him. But support him. Let him know that you’re on his side and you’re not just trying to “be right” or win an argument. Tell him that you’ll help him be the best husband and father that he can be.
If you do that, then he’ll be fine regardless of what happens later. And you’ll still have influence in his life, which he needs whether he believes it or not.
Good luck man.

Does not have what I would consider a "permanent" job at the moment, despite his college degree. At last check, she has no job.
Age isnt as important as being settled in life.
There are 24 year olds that have been working full time for 2-3 years in a career job (CPA, Engineer, nurse etc) that are on the safe side of getting married, and there are 30 year olds still finding themselves that have no clue

Fairy tale nonsense. True love comes from time and hard work. All this pixie dust love crap is just a bunch of feelings, and just as you shouldn’t base your faith on feelings, you shouldn’t base your marriage on it either. Love is a decision. Attraction is a feeling.
Excellent.
And likely the most Catholic thing said in this thread, so far.

What did you think would happen?
"Son you shouldn't marry this woman, she's wrong for you."
"Gee dad, you're right. I won't marry her."
I don't know that any parent ever has talked their child out of doing something they wanted to do.
All you can do is relay your concerns and say that you love and support them no matter what. Plant the seeds in his mind such that he hopefully comes to the most rational decision on his own, and not because it's the decision you told him to make.
He's an adult, if it's a mistake he has to learn that on his own. Maybe this woman is right for him, you never know.

I assume you shared your opinion with him. I am guessing you presented all of your arguments and Dad wisdom.
Now shut up and wait and see what happens. If he needs more advice, he'll ask.
