Don't marry him without your parent's knowledge, it is the biggest insult ever.

I agree. If you are worried about your parent's approval, you are not mature enough to get married. Also, if you have not been able to openly date him, there is definitely something else wrong.

Anyway, the best way is to tell them BEFORE. If you insist on waiting til afterwards, its could be bc you are afraid of them changing your mind, and are therefore not ready. Also, telling them after creates a lot more mistrust and negative feelings for not putting your fears aside and allowing them to be a part of your big day as parents all want to be.
