Hi martin,
As a parent I would appreciate my child wanting to get my blessing ~ you are a good son! But as a citizen of the modern age you know I will tell you to marry the girl. Your parents will have to get over it. Unless you are very young and they support you financially, you really should follow your heart.
In laws have clashed with their new sons and daughters in law all over the world since the beginning of time. Even if they hand picked your bride for you they would still clash. I would marry her and have them meet her during or after the ceremony. The visit should be short and she should be very polite so they have nothing to complain about.
Then later, when you give them their first grandchild, they should be happy.
Blessings,
Inky
