Planning a inter-racial wedding!

Talk to your parents about how you respect your heritage but want to do things your way. Maybe you can include a few traditions as a show of respect. I would also say that if your parents are contributing financially to your wedding, they may feel entitled to making specific requests for things to happen.

Your parents may be asking too much of you and want ehat they had done. Your day can be easier if you let them know that you do respect them and the traditions, yet you want to do some and not all.

Create a fusion wedding and traditions based on both your beleifs/traditions.

Wr did the same as Indian/Canadian Civil traditions took place.

I agree with what others have said! Speak with them and maybe decide on mac one or 2 traditions you dont mind putting in! Keep it simple but a small tribute to your family and heritage should be well received!

I would find the balance that suits you. Talk to your parents about what you want, and that you're willing to have a nod to your traditions, but that you are keeping it shorter, more simple, and not going to include all of the traditional aspects.

Perhaps they are only pushing because you've said yes to all of their suggestions, and they think you'll do it all now?

Best thing to do is sit down, talk it all out, and come to an agreement/understanding.

Are your parents contributing (financially) to your wedding? If so, I could see where they would want to put in their two cents regarding the inclusion of traditional aspects to the wedding. It's difficult and you might want to meet them halfway about including some traditional things (even if they're not helping financially).

I guess it depends on how important the traditions are to you personally. I would just sit down with your parents and tell them that you want to keep the wedding simple, and although their opinions are very important to you, you were hoping to skip some traditions. Or ask which tradition is most important to them and consider doing it. It can be hard to get what we want, and also please or families. But what you want is the most important. We went to a traditional Chinese wedding last year and the husband was Canadian. They did a cross between the two, and it started at 9am with entrance games and tea ceremony. The bride was so exhausted by 2pm for her wedding ceremony. But it was lovely, and amazing to see Chinese traditions. We really enjoyed ourselves. I think whatever you decide to do, as long as you and your FH are on the same page, you will both enjoy yourself, no matter what you decide to do. Best of luck. Sometimes family can be difficult lol
