Newbie here, hi there!

I'm a 31 year old female from Ireland, who is living with a man from Kerala
We are telling my parents on st Stephens Day news that we are getting married next year
Only back from Kerala this weekend gone. My first time over. Met his family too. We have been together for 3.5 years now.
Took a long time for his parents to come around to the idea of marriage because I'm not Indian.
We got there eventually

Welcome to IM, and congratulations! Like the name by the way (happy) - and should you ever need to change it then hopefully it will be to something like "ecstatic"

So your folks are fine with him being Indian? Good to hear that all is fine now, all's well that ends well. And hope you both have a great time out here on IM.

Cheers,
Aadil.

Hi Aadil,
Thanks for the welcome note. Everyone here seems so nice. I'm new here but yo uare all so friendly. That's really nice

it did take a while for his parents to come around. We were not sure if they ever would thinking back on it!
They are very traditional. But after meeting them I found that they are genuinely nice people, very caring, and respectful. They have nothing against me personally.
My own parents think my other half is lovely. They dont care about where he comes from, just as long as we are happy! They have been waiting for our news for some time now, the delay was his own parents. Now we can at last tell them

Thank you Nick-H, it's been a long time waiting.
Now I have to break the news to my family, arrange wedding in India (not sure how that works really - in terms of being legally wed) with him being Indian and me being Irish?
Get my family over with me (those who can come)
Very exciting!!
