Better court marriage man. They all will start, oh our traditions weren’t followed lalala. In my house there’s a statue of mother Mary and a temple, his stepmother kept looking at temple, ganesha’s framed photos lmfao, she was like what are we doing in her head I’m sure 🤣

😆 Totally can picture my family going a lil weird. My family is like super religious, so I’m like bro if you want no tamasha just go for court marriage.

His parents are a little cool but in our family the whole khandan has to approve. From mama nana dada to 3rd cousin

Be like the Queen of hills. Get married to people in your head. 🤣

Totally agree. Log kya kahenge type thing.

And giving that one elder person the authority to approve or disapprove. I’m glad my dads side is kind of more independent, like each family unit deals with their own shit 😆

Well he is pakistani born and brought up (including passport) and I am Indian brought up in dubai also holding an indian passport (this is important because geographically it poses a challenge). We met in our university library (in the uk for context) actually, were friends for a year and I avoided liking him because I knew this was going to be a major struggle. We come from broken homes, countries we both cannot even visit and religions, I was like this is gonna end badlyy. But we couldn't help it and started dating in my final year of uni. I left to Dubai after graduation, he was unsure if he wanted to study further and went to Pak. Lots of tears at airport, because we legit were like we aren't seeing each other ever again logically but we still tried long distance and it was a disaster. We were way too young and couldn't handle the distance plus that time pressure of career.

After 6 months of our break up, he surprised me in Dubai, we reconciled. He left a good job back home with his dad's business and got a really bad one in Dubai and struggled for a year when his mom also passed away. Finally he settled in and then fast forward 6 years, I was like tell your father now, he went back home for a holiday bearing bribes and gifts, his dad instantly was like what have you done? When he told his dad, his jaw dropped he was like you both are nuts.

Finally after a year of convincing his father and stepmother came here. He and my mom are super close anyway as I introduced them very soon after he moved. His dad met me liked me alot and liked my mom but ofcourse they were like this is too hard and you guys will never see each others families, we wont see our grandkids lalala. My dad hasn't accepted him because he is super conservative and extremely rigid. In the end they accepted our relationship and told us go ahead and get engaged which we did privately without an official ceremony as of yet.

I applied for my canadian residency and he procrastinated, when I got mine, his tubelight came on and he applied and then bam covid hit and his application is stranded so we may have to go down the spousal route lets see. He met with a major accident this time in March when he went on vacation, so now hes stuck in Pak with physio etc. Nothing ever comes easy.

To be continued when and if this works out🤣

Bumpy ride! Wish you all the luck in the world.
