Wow, the responses on this forum is pretty quick :D, i'm amazed. We actually thought about going somewhere else to marry, but the thing with going to another third world country to get married is that it seems to be more of just a marriage of convenience than anything else. We feel that we don't need to get married because we're basically already just like a married couple with out the "actual marriage". We sort of just self-declared that we are "hubby-wifey" lol.
they will look at whether your relationship is accepted by your family as well as the true validity of it (genuineness) or are you just doing it as a favour to family members.
Not all of our family members know of our relationship, as it is something that isn't socially accepted. We are slowly opening up to the rest of our family though (it has been tough but its something we need to do). My siblings and her siblings know of our relationship and accepts it. As with our parents, my Dad doesn't seem to be accepting this, while the others dont agree with it but will accept it.
Will there be a problem if certain family members aknowledges our relationship but does not accept it? I don't want my future to be tarnished based on the fact that my father does not accept my decision to love someone. In terms of true validity of our relationship, i think we have more then enough evidence to support it.
Thanks for the feedback rjessome & Suin!! It's really helpful =D.
