Thanks a lot. I do find two person to be a bit too simple (well, obviously there will be two other friends there, to be the witness), and I do hope that there could be a line that both of us could agree upon. Thanks wgpictures. You may be joking about Vegas, but I think that is what he has in mind! The reason him giving is that he wants it to be a personal and intimate wedding, and he believes that this is a matter of two hearts. He does not like to put on wedding like it is a show. I think I am not able to convince him on how my family is important to me. Like you said, a wedding without a ceremony of parents sending off their daughter, into the hands of another man in my opinion, would be an incomplete marriage. And I am afraid that looking back, I will regret it. I do not think it is too big of a problem for him to compromise as well, and I do not know why it is so hard for him to! I do not understand. =( He said that he will instead, spend one whole month with my parents after the wedding, but it is just different. I am losing all ways to tell him or trying to convince him, without forcing him. Thanks for your warm welcome and wishes.
