So, for the next few days, me and my boyfriend are at his parents house. Well, last night we ended fooling around in his room that night, and what not, until his parents walked in on use having sex. Well, we both got freaked out, that his parents just closed the door and just walked away. While me and my boyfriend just stopped and I just told him that he needed to invest in a lock for his door after that we didnt talk until today. Well, now heres where I need some adivce, how do we tell his parents that we want to get married without brining up what they saw?

How old are you and your b/f?
What you do really depends on what his parents are like. If they are super-conservative or hold strong beliefs against sex before marriage then no matter what you do, you'll have problems. In that case there may not be much to do - just let the sleeping dogs lie and say nothing unless they approach you. I also think that it should be your b/f that does any talking - after all, it is his house and his parents. He should be the one talking to them.
The other thing to consider is what are their "rules" about sex in their house? You have to remember that your b/f is living under their roof and while he is there he should be respecting their rules and guidelines.
Yes, it would have been nice if she had knocked before entering, but was she expected to know that the two of you were having sex? Don't forget that she has been coming into his room for years and years now without knocking, so is surprising that she didn't think to knock? No, not really.
As for telling them about getting married? Are you planning on announcing an engagement or is this just something that you think would happen in the future? Or does this seem like a good story to justify why you were having sex?
I wouldn't tell them that you are thinking of getting married until you are getting engaged - with a ring and telling all your friends and family. After-all, that's what engagements are for. They're for announcing that you are getting married. Getting engaged really has nothing to do with having sex. If you announce that you are getting married I would expect that the issue of your sex life never gets mentioned.
were both 21.. His parents are really nice, they are conservative, but not like super.My boyfriend has talked to his parents about us getting married, but all his parents said we were too young. We honestly, dont think we are too young. My parents totally understand and are fine with idea, because my boyfriend went behind my back and asked my parents for my hand in marriage. There rules about sex in their house, is as long as we are protecting ourselves its fine, but by the look on there face, they seemed pretty upset. The whole knocking thing, I understand that its there house.I honestly dont know what his parents were expecting. Yeah, we plain on getting engage in Decemember.

My Dad thought I was too young - now that I'm older and he doesnt look at me as his little girl anymore he has changed his mind and loves my husband like a son.
Do what you feel is right for you are your BF - Just because parents try to persuade you to wait doesnt mean they disapporve its just them being protective.
If they say its ok as long as you are being safe to have sex then why worry what they think? Its their house yes and you need to be respectful of their rules. Sounds to me like The Mom Was upset that she walked in on you shocked at seeing her son having sex and walked away. Of course she was shocked Thats her little boy you are sleeping with!
Bottom line, you're both adults and they shouldn't be just walking into his room when the door is shut anyway! I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it if he did that! Any time you walk into a room unannounced, then you're very likely to see something you wish you hadn't!!
But if you and your BF want to get married, then you're adults and they will have to accept it whether they fully approve or not. They really have no choice.
THAT being said, however, it's always better to be completely respectful of your intended's parent's because the old saying really is true.....you don't just marry the man, you marry the whole family....like it or not. LOL!
They love their son and naturally, they want him, and you, to be absolutely sure of his choice.
Things always go a lot smoother if you have the full blessing of both parents though. When you give them the timeline of the engagement, etc. I'm sure they will feel differently.
And DON'T bring up what happened before. Why is it even necessary? IF they bring it up, apologize and leave it at that.
