When there is a meeting of minds (also called a "meeting of the minds"), it refers to people who had previously disagreed, but they find a way to seek common ground and come to an agreement on a particular issue. It can also refer to governments, countries, or other entities that previously saw something very differently but now are in agreement.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.

Sonnet XVIII: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day", or Sonnet XCVI: "Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments"
Probably either Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee to as summer's day") or Sonnet 116 ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments")
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit an impediment.
Shakespeare's language was English, so when he wanted to say "the" he said . . . "the".As you can obviously see from just about any famous quotation from Shakespeare, such as:"To be or not to be, that is the question.""What light from yonder window breaks? It is the east, and juliet is the sun.""Let me not to the marriage of two true minds admit impediments.""Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.""If music be the food of love, play on."
This line, from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, means that true love is strong and unwavering, and cannot be affected by obstacles or barriers. The speaker is expressing the belief that genuine love is constant and unchanging.
Admitting. It's a form of the verb admit. But watch, as the word had and has a number of meanings. 1. To let someone in the door. "Admit him entrance, Griffith: but this fellow Let me ne'er see again." (Henry VIII) 2. To allow or permit generally. "Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments." (Sonnet 116) "We do remember; but our argument Is all too heavy to admit much talk." (Henry VI Part 2) 3. To assume a fact. "Admit no other way to save his life . . . but that either You must lay down the treasures of your body To this supposed, or else to let him suffer" (Measure for Measure) 4. To confess. "For me, the gold of France did not seduce; Although I did admit it as a motive The sooner to effect what I intended" (Henry V). Although this is a very common meaning of the word now, it was a rare one at the time. Shakespeare would be more likely to use the word "confess".
The situation you describe is somewhat unusual, but there is nothing wrong with it. Your parents deserve happiness too. To quote Shakespeare, let not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment.
This is a Sonnet, in fact, the first line of Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare. The whole thing is very beautiful: Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
