Ok< my name is danielle and i am 20 years old i meet this really great guy online> we have been dating for awhile. he proposed to me like a week ago and i have accepted only there is alittle bit of a problem.

His name is noris and he is muslim, and i am not. its not the fact that he is a different religion cuse i have already accepted that. his parents are really really strict the only time that i can see him is when they are on vacation then i go live with him until they get back. thing is that he wants a traditional muslim wedding and i want a traditional american wedding. i sugested that we have to seperate weddings for our families. but i still don't think that it would work due to my family not likeing the fact that he is muslim and indish (darker skined) and i am an american(white). i don't want to diplease either family and don't know what to do. and he has left the decision all up to me. does anyone have any advice at all to what i should do>

Please help.
 
You're an American. You can do what you want, when you want.

Period.

Follow your heart.

I myself have went thorough this. I am a product of a mixed family and it was hard being accepted by other people (not my own family)

It wont be easy but if you two really love and care fore each other then you can give your family an ultimatum (maybe as a bluff)

and tell them both either accept us as we are.. together... or dont. either way we are going to be husband and wife and you dont have to be involoved in our lifes or a future children.
