That's pretty close. At some point his son will be 39 and she'll be 50

That's it? He's 24 and getting married to someone who doesn't have a job, while he's barely employed himself?
I thought it was something serious.

Well done, old man. You've earned a bottle.

I mean, it’s not like they are uneducated high-school age kids. He has a degree. Maybe marriage and a family will be the kick in the arse he needs. The best thing you can do is be supportive...it’s not about you.

me and your son are eerily similar. I'm not getting married yet tho and he has me beat in the job department :(

If and when they have a kid, update your will to put a good chunk of your inheritance that would go to your son into a trust for the kid.

My parents tried this when I was 25 and marrying my first wife. And I’m a smart guy. 
They were right, but there were things I needed to learn on my own. It’s part of living. Did it ruin my life? No. Did it set me back a bit? Yes. But I grew and learned from it. 22 years and still going for my second marriage. And still to this day I don’t like their meddling in my first marriage. It didn’t change my mind one bit, but it did affect my relationship with them for a loooong time.

No idea. He isn't being very forthcoming with the details in this thread.
Posted on 12/18/17 at 8:22 pm to Slippy
So why is this coming up now and not before, or soon after, he proposed?

I know. I was waiting for something actually wrong.
If she’s not working and in school or doing something to get to gainful employment I wouldn’t care.
And his assumption that because they’re uber Catholic and will use NFP is in accurate. Wife and I got married at the same ages. She was working a low paying job about to start grad school and I was in my entry level position. And we’re “uber Catholic” and don’t practice NFP. But we aren’t scared of a large family.

Let him make that choice

The most difficult part of being a parent is watching as your child learns difficult lessons for themselves.

They actually sound like most "uber Catholic" couples I know - getting married on a combined sub-$30k income at a relatively young age. Somehow, most end up working out.

Don’t lesson to these idiots saying he needs to make his own mistakes. He’s 23 and his brain isn’t even full developed. Lay down the law. Tell him he’s cut off completely and he’s no longer allowed in your house.

I was also Catholic at the time, and when the marriage only lasted a year before I busted her cheating, I began the annulment process. Once I saw the depth of the personal info they wanted, I said “frick this shite.” I’m now an atheist.

Then what is your advice?
Slippy can talk to his son out of it until he is blue in the face, but if the kid thinks he knows it's what he wants it will only cause friction between the two, the kid will get married and then no telling how their relationship will go from there.
If he were able to talk his son out of it, I would assume he would have been able to do so already. Sometimes people have to make their own mistakes in life so they can learn for themselves. Instead of looking to try to make a joke everytime I post, would you try to actually add something valuable to the conversation?
