The only thing that is lacking now is that, we donÂ’t know if we should book a banquet at the hotel. The thought of relativesÂ… We still have lots to do, like getting a house, our responsibilities and much more, but we can work those out in time to come.. The cost is slightly over what we thought it would be, but still we are happy with it.
Thanks to everybody here, I think that the people here affected our (or rather his) decision a lot.

Originally posted by NotADream:Hello to everybody. We have decided to get married on 2008 Feburary 14th.
We would not have an extravagant wedding and will get small one held at YMCA hotel with just a few tables for close friends and families. I have a saving of 20K and she has around 10 k more then me. We plan to spend about 15K on the wedding, but really depends on the hotel. She wanted to do it at other places, but i would not want her to miss out on what every woman deserves.
The rest of the money would be used for our house downpayment's, and hopefully we would be able to convince the owner of her rented apartment to sell it to us, as it is a beautiful place with great memories.
I would be graduating in 2 years time, and meanwhile, i would still be working full time and studying part time and she would still get on with her career.
We figured that financially, it would hopefully not be a problem. At the most, i take on more jobs during free time.
Now, its just about convincing both parents, and friends.
Thanks everybody here, the advices and questions you guys posted helped alot, and yes, we would definitely be smiling as we walk down the aisle.
Congratulation to NotADream & Elaine
May this Day be full of Memories and Love

Just do it brother!
It is your happiness and not others. No worries... If everything is fine they will not say anything also. Don't resort to any ideas of making her pregnant then tell the whole world. I'ts not the right thing to do! :)
friend, welcome to sgf, but this thread is way expired..=)
I think age really does not matter as long as you love her.
So wat's the news now?? It has been 2 mths after TS & Elaine is married..
Sure hope can see TS update us soon!
A rare happy ending in A.A.
Hope u guys wont regreat getting married
wonderful! Best wishes!
I know a poor chinese bloke many years back had an Indian gf. He wanted to marry her and buy a 4 room HDB estate and buy a Honda Civic. He didn't really have the absolute acceptance from his in laws initially. But being a very dynamic person, he proved his worth. They now have a son and runs his own business. By the way, he drives a Lamborghini and stays in a bungalow now. His wife also runs a retail chain. They went on TV sometime back to talk about his success in his business.
And naturally, his in-laws were convinced their daughter didn't choosed the wrong guy.
It is all about the content of the man that matters most. Racial discrimination, age, appearance are merely fleeting images that will fade with time.
nice. All the best : )
