Multicultural weddings

lipstick · June 12, 2010, 6:20pm

I have a friend (british pakistani) who fell in love with a guy in her uni days (english). Theyve been together for 5 years now. Hes actually a very decent and lovely guy.

All her friends have stopped talking to her because ‘she wont listen and they dont want to be labeled bad like her’ even though shes such a quite type. She doesnt flaunt her relationship in anybodys face. Shes scared stiff in regards to telling her family and it seems their long term prospect is that they stay together until they can and then move on.

My question is to all the girls on GS who had multicultural weddings.

How did you overcome the problems (if any) of breaking it to your parents?

Did you still have a big wedding (if thats what you always wanted)?

ALL in all how did you go about the whole thing?

whats the point of the relationship then? waste of her life.

one of my neighbours daughter (pakistani) got married to an english guy. she had to leave home and no one from her family came. i saw her wedding pix and they had a small nikah in the morning, registry in the afternoon and then meal at a local restaurant. there were around 50ppl max in attendance. she wanted the big fairy tale wedding but instead she had a really low key event due to the circumstances.
