Secondtime your comment about the wedding reminded me of an old cliche regarding weddings, and it plays into this question.
Remember it is their (parents) wedding your (bride and groom) marriage.
In essence, it is the same here, that 1 day is their wedding, your next 4 yrs is your marriage; the more important thing in your life when you think about it.
As a parent I think your folks offered a great compromise. They are allowing you down time to be by yourself, and will just meet up with you there.
I respect the OP's desires, but no offense to them, they do not realize how deep their family roots are planted, and how hard it will be to say goodbye. I am willing to bet in the long run, he will be happy to see them one last time after the plane ride.
