Okay, I'm going to go get it soon but theres one thing that's troubling me. I don't want my parents to be there. I want it to be with just me and the patriarch. I know it's not cool and will hurt my parents becaues I'm the only child who has -is getting - one but I just don't feel comfortable having anyone else there. I'm too private I guess. I don't want others hearing the revelation that is for me alone. Also, I don't want my parents sharing anything from it with others! Many parents do share bits and I know my parents won't be an exception. But, how can I tell them?? gonk

I'd just explain it, I guess. I haven't gotten mine so I guess I'm not the best person to answer.

I would explain it to them too. My parent's were with me when I got mine, but that's a different story, we are each individual people and react to things differently. I would find a time when you can talk to them privatly, one at a time or at the same time if you just want to get it over with, I find at night is when it's best to speak to my parents privatly, because then I know where they are and they aren't bombarded with a lot of things. Just explain it to them and let them know how you feel.

Yeah, like everybody else said just explain it to them. I already knew who I wanted to take me to get mine (I'm an only member), and she was glad. Apparently she was honored that I chose her... *Shrugs.*

I didn't let my parents sit the room when I got mine and they were fine with it because it was my (and it is your) choice. And if you choose to let them see it afterwards, no one should talk about their or anyone elses blessings outside a spiritual setting.

It was just me and the patriarch when I got mine. I didn't know at the time that you were allowed to take anyone with you.

Ditto to it all. And if they say no, I'll get behind them, and you push!

I was actually told no one was allowed in, but because my fiance and I were getting married the next week, he said he could come in with me because my blessing would probably have things about him in it as well.
But he asked me before asking my fiance.
I dunno, maybe it's different with parents, since mine aren't members and probably don't even know what one is. Still, I'm sure that if you explain to your parents they'll be fine with it. Parents are always good like that. ^^

I got mine years ago (when I was 11!) and if I remember right, my parents were in there with me. It's completely your choice though; at the time my dad was bishop of the ward we were in, so he had two reasons to come with, but it was still my choice.
Just be honest with your parents! Although, methinks that by now you'd probably gotten your blessing. xd
