I'm (an appropriate amount of) jealous
I also adore the alba's. They both made amazing choices and I'm glad they went against the white wedding dress convention cause I wanted to go against it as well but I worried that everyone would think its weird.

I wanted to wear a pink saree for my hypothetical wedding but have decided that when the time comes, I will wear white and just stick my bridesmaids in pink Though I'm not sure pink would suit my older sister's skin tone so well

Might have to be dark pink

Why not wear pink? I know the traditional wedding colors in india are red and purple, what are the traditional colors in your culture?
And anyway, when the happy day comes you ll be the bride so you ll be able to wear whatever color you like

It depends on religion. Christian Sri Lankan brides always wear white, if they're having a Christian ceremony

I think my dad's side of the family would find some reason to find it scandalous if I wore a pink saree, tbh. They're uber-traditional

On the other hand, I'm tempted just to elope to Gretna Green Though my mum would never forgive me!

First thing's first, though. Need to find a groom

Boo. I don't have anyone on fb so can't stalk wedding photos.

Yeah some aunts from my family are traditional too and I know they aren't too happy about me not marrying in a Christian ceremony (since my bf is not christian) but thankfully they disapprove in an understanding way (meaning they'd rather he was Christian but like him anyway ) so there isn't a big issue.

You are very lucky. My parents and his parents have both accepted our relationship but, assuming we get married eventually, it's going to be complicated.

Oh what makes it complicated? Religion, culture?

Oh...well, as long as you two are happy this should be OK for your parents. If it isn't then it's really their problem. My friend's cousin married a British man (she is Greek, so orthodox) and he converted before they married.

Of course, but we are close to our families so it's tough. And although we are happy together, it's not what either of us had planned!

Yeah I understand the problem. I have a similar problem in that in Greece it is tradition for babies to be baptized. Its something that literally everyone does. It's unheard of to not baptize your child. Before that day the baby is not even officially named. Even though I am not an active Christian this is a tradition that I like and would really want to follow. But of course it carries significant religious connotations (among social and cultural ones) so it would be unfair of me to force my partner into a decision he is not comfortable with.
So yeah...it would be nice if this wasn't an issue.

Same boat here, except gf is a pretty committed atheist. We've skirted round it before in true British fashion.

Similar for my husband and me,except neither families particularly "active" so that made it a bit easier! We did battle to find an interfaith minister (most interfaith ones being Christian interfaith only) but eventually found a wonderful person who helped us draw up some amazing vows.

And Zoe - re the reps, well, GOGs love good news

And I've been waiting to use "urgle" in a post....so now I can say: Urgle. Much as I tried, could not come up with any good puns on giant birds
