About a month ago my (23 F) boyfriend (26 M) of three and a half years and I got engaged, and I am ecstatic about it! Here's the kicker, I cannot tell my family as of yet. His parents, grandma, and a couple of our friends know but that's about it. 

The reason I can't tell my family is, they've never even met him. I didn't even tell them we were together until we were dating for a year, and I had considered having them meet earlier but at the time he really just wasn't interested in meeting them. Not to mention there is a language barrier. My parents are very conservative and I'm trying to tread lightly, I wanted to start slow and have him meet my brother first but that seems like it may take awhile. And honestl, while his family is very supportive of us, one of my fears is that I will lose total support from my family. 

I want to move things along though, especially since I know that not moving it along probably brings some doubts about whether or not I'm serious about this. The idea of dinner was brought up, but my parents hardly ever go out, and I'm kinda at a loss. It's not like I could really have him over and have them all sit on the couch and talk, although I have toyed with that idea too. Does anyone have any advice as to how to make the meeting go smoothly? Or any advice as to how to introduce them?
