sweet-n-evil 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 I'm a chinese and am dating an indian guy. We work perfectly well and even consider tying the knot. And here is the problem. He wishes to have a traditional Indian marriage ceremony, which I'm perfectly fine with that BUT, he wants me to wear the thali. In Indian culture, thali is a thread / string knotted around the bride's neck and is a symbol of marriage union, a sacred thread of love and goodwill worn by women as a symbol of their marriage. In short, it is comparable to the wedding ring of the west. According to him, Thali has to be worn 24/7, you cannot take it out until the day you die. The problem is I'm not a accessory person, I hardly wear any necklace, earrings and etc, so I'm abit reluctant of the idea of wearing the thali 24/7... What should I do?

alexisbabe 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 since you are already in love with him; and you think he is your mr Right, why not you try to discuss with him and the family on the issue, try to find a way to work out for both party; nevertheless, since you already prepared yourself for a traditional indian wedding; so i believe you can overcome this as well.
