Re: We both firm to marry but not both families
^ Regarding the last bit, situations can change tho, can't they. I can't describe the happiness I felt when my Mum started to soften in her views towards my non-desi other half. It was like I was floating on air lol and even tho it was a long time coming it was sooo worth it, I'm so glad we didn't just take the easy way out + just give up. Me and my fiance had to wait years like Wildhalcyon's brother but it makes me think how lucky I am that I have someone who's that committed and didn't wana just walk away.
Parents nearly always come around in the end. I have seen loads of these situations and not one of them has ended in the parents never ever accepting, I know it happens but it's rare, I mean they'd have to have hearts of stone to never want to see their son/daughter again (and miss out on their future grandchildren). My Mum did a complete u-turn, she sees my fiance like a son now, even encourages me to spend more time with him! I have seen similar things happen with friends so moral of the story is 'where there's a will there's a way' :)
