Sharon BoffoMixed Marriages: Whose Wedding Tradition Should be Followed?
September 1st 2008 06:05
Weddings are not always as traditional as how they used to be. Gone were the times when a Hindu woman is married to a Hindu man or a Christian woman is married to a Christian man. Now, mixed marriages are not taboo anymore. They are as widely accepted as having a child out of wedlock or divorce.
However, there would always be the debate on whose culture or religion or tradition would be followed for the wedding ceremony and all the wedding brouhahas. Most men would argue that it should be the man’s culture or tradition that should be followed because he’s the man and the woman should (ideally, after the marriage) be under his house (or so it says). Nevertheless, not all women now are as succumbing as they used to and would of course oftentimes argue that either their culture be followed or meet halfway in between (meaning having a non-traditional wedding).
It would definitely be an unending debate, in that case. Should there really be a rule as to whose culture, tradition or religion be followed or should love conquer all convince the couple that it should be a consensus between the two of them and end up having a non-traditional wedding?
Any thoughts?

I like the idea of just simply living together.
It save down a lot of money for a wedding and if things doesn't go well, we save down a whole bunch of money for a complicated divorce.
