mansion, love and romantic sparks are one thing......being practical is another. a couple might want to spend the rest of eternity together but they still realize their familis won't be "thrilled" a bout it. countless examples in our community. nepal ma u have extended families, and one is expected to be able to answwer them. we have a very traditional community, you go agaisnt the norms, people will point fingers at you and call you names and stuff. no matter how much you claim that love is a feat greater than everything and i don't really give a shit about what other people think and i wil ltry convince my parents et. al, u know it is wayyyy easier said than done. u can try to convince your parents ofcourse, tara you cannot change the value system that is instilled so firmly for so many years.
