you're really racist. Other than that if you feel superior to her don't marry her. You shouldn't marry someone you don't feel comfortable with especially if it involves her family and their "unwarrironess" (not a word)
 
Hi,
Thank you for taking your time to answer my question. Your answers is highly appreciated. I respect your time and your response. ( I am sorry this is long, though necessary) Normally, I wont ask such a question on YA, but I need to hear from you however simple they are.

I'm 26/male/live in Southern California :)

HISTORY: I belong the to the ancient Aryan tribe, warrior class. My bloodline has been highly preserved over the past 440 years through marriage. My ancestors fought the Persians, the Turks, the Greeks, Alexander the Great, Hazaras, the British, the Russians, both the World wars, the Taliban, even today there are few cousins are at war we are all too familiar. I AM the true Aryan.

I'm 6 ft 1in tall, very athletic, muscular with strong bones, tall with stricking green eyes and long brown hair with clear fair skin and distinct features. You may have heard and studied my last name in your high school or college history class. Its easy to spot me.

The story above is mine until my very young mom had me who brought me here as a baby boy. I grew up among you all here in the continental US, went to college, church and grew up Christian. I joined the academy and I am a distinct officer in the U.S. Marines.

FACT: I like this girl. And even if the earth decides to spin backwards on its own axis I AM STILL going to marry her. I will fight an army alone from the past or coming future to be with her. Nothing but God alone can stop me.

MY Q: It is important to paint a small picture of this family before I present my question. The ancient family I told you about, today are VERY wealthy and but STILL have very strict rules, some religious, and live as one big family several acres wide (like the greeks). The kind of family where everybody knows everybody and everything. Its a highly developed social structure, educated and still believing some orthodox beliefs and its hard for me to explain. I would like to approach and invite and wish to have somebody from my old family side to be there for my marriage. I don't know what to expect. I don't know how to even word my words, but I am going to do it all the same. I was hoping if somebody could advise me few ways I could put this forward without crushing and killing many hearts. I will be the first in this several century old family structure to marry not just from another tribe of that nation, but far far from their imaginations and wildest dreams, a western white girl.They have pictures of warriors from our bloodline upto 8 ot 9 generations back. The men of this family are highly disciplined like the imperial navy can stand a small army. I'm not afraid of anything, they all love me from little they know about me.

P.S: They have only seen me as a baby boy several years ago, but have great hopes, dreams and even armor, swords and songs with my name. Thank you SO much. I respect your thoughtful answers.
Gosh Vanilla. I am SO NOT. What the heck are you talking about? I have not even seen this family I explained so much details since I am 4 yrs old. I grew up with my mom and I don't know any better than you do. I only asked how do I talk to them to have them come to my marriage next yr. Don't respond to questions you haven't understood.
My question "I was hoping if somebody could advise me few ways I could put this forward without crushing and killing many hearts."
Or even better, Can somebody please tell me how to put this across the elders in century old family
Ofcourse I am going to marry my love. Its not about my choice. Its about iniviting my family. Geez. Isn't anybody reading?
I grew up with my mom in the U.S. This family of mine has never been there for me. Screw the family tradition, I totally agree. I only wanted to approach them with the right words.
Nope. Not Columbus or Hitler. Just an average soldier.
 
Pick a few who you know and send them a wedding invitation. Word will get around.
 
I don't even understand the question...I dont' think?

but if you're asking if you should marry the girl, then the answer is of coruse. Screw family tradition...if it's 440 years old, big whoop. when you're on your deathbed and you're recounting this decision, would you rather think to yourself, "Gosh I'm glad I kept that tradition going, now my old, dead ancestors that fought for pointless causes will be proud of me!" or would you prefer to think, "I'm so glad that I married her and started a family with beautiful children and a successful marriage."

See, it all comes down to pleasing your dead ancestors (and they're not going to know the difference anyway!) or being your own person. Family tradition IS important, yes, but only when it affects you. So what if you have a child with a woman that isn't of your bloodline? If it pleases you, that's all that matters.


Forget all that have come before you, and all that will come after... The only thing that should matter to you is what occurs between the moment you open your eyes for the first time, and the moment you close them one LAST time...if that answers your question, I wish you luck.
