Am I the odd one out

Hey FreeSpirit,

You are not odd one out. I was also in same boat. Me and my DH is also from different culture which made my marriage a painful remembrance. No one was completely happy. But i never regret it. My marriage was very simple ( no relative from my or my IL side came to attend ), so hardly 20-25 people but we compensate for it by having a good HM plan and we are actually happy with the way our marriage happened as we were able to save our money which would have been wasted on all show-off and got our own house and car within 2 years of our marriage

 

Daddy bird, Are you reading this ??????????

 

Daddy bird does not know IL exist and I like it that way

How can be "whack where ever" necessary when the belt is in my hand as long as I have pujari mama in my pocket? Marriage teaches us lots of vices...selective blackmail is one of them.

 

I wrote a lengthy post on another forum: Wedding in Shantikunj Ashram, Haridwar - what to expect?

Yes my wedding did not at all go as I wanted. There was surprise, shock, some disappointment....

Would I have changed details of my wedding? Honestly, yes. It was short, simple and sweet but there is still an ache in me if I could go back and redo the wedding Iyer-style, I would have. At a Haridwar wedding, at least I wore my traditional madisar! I was a very unique bride compared to others!

Am I happy in my marriage? Yes, yes a thousand times yes!

I will remember, a wedding is just one day but a marriage lasts forever!
