Yes they were contacted. The decision remained same even then. That they cannot sign in the catholic registration.

Is this the spiritual life you want for you and your future family? More important, is this the life you believe Jesus Christ is calling you to live?

That is the only reason I am giving this a second thought. I am waiting for God’s will to happen. He knows what is good for me and whats not.

And yes. I am flooded with his memories every where I turn to and it fills my eyes with tears and makes me heartbroken. I really don’t know if he is the one for me. He is too against these charismatic meetings and that is the only point of argument between us.
 
I feel i cannot agree to something which i am forced. The marriage is a sacrament for the bride and the groom. Just because his dad wants i cannot participate and sign in the registration without a whole heart
 
They are purely optional, no Catholic is ever required to attend, not even required to embrace that spiritual cup of tea. In my opinion, make a truce. You will put it on hold for a year, and then re-evaluate and maybe do one retreat a year.
 
But what if, after that year, her husband-at-that-point is still rigidly opposed to charismatic meetings?
If it’s something she enjoys, should she be forced to give it up because her fiancé disapproves? Married couples need to allow each other freedom in their spiritual lives.
 
This should very much be decided before marriage. For me, personally, I’d not be compatable with a charismatic/tongues/etc. spouse.
 
You need to seek what is right for you, spiritually speaking. We all need to follow God’s path for us. I would suggest that you pray on this matter.
Regardless of the advice you may receive here on this forum, you must find your own way in your relationship with God and with your significant other.
 
You really are setting yourself up for an unhappy future.

At first I didn’t want to get involved, but now, I see you have two threads on the subject going! And, they pretty much say the same; that your fiancé 's dad is disapproving, and he wants to follow his dad’s lead. This is controlling, and it’s wrong! Are they going to be telling you what to wear, read, etc., in the future? It’s best to draw the line. Now!

Oh,…BTW, I was involved in the Charismatic group at first, but now am uncomfortable with it. It’s not what anyone else thinks, you want to go to these meetings! As the church has approved of them, you should be allowed to go.

So, don’t drag this out. You will find someone else, eventually. But now, don’t be controlled, and do what you think is best for you! Praying…

Exactly. Your spiritual life is of the utmost importance. If you personal path to holiness involved charismatic meetings and retreats, you should not allow anyone to block you from that.

I can understand why your fiancé might be concerned (esp. if he is SSPX), but you need to be clear with him that you feel these meeting are essential and that you are not willing to give them up.
