Dear Prudie,
My fiancé and I have been ridiculously happy for three years. But now that the wedding is being planned something has come up that I find ridiculous. He’s American, and I grew up in Europe, where I went to an orthodontist as a child. I now have perfectly healthy set of teeth. However they are not Hollywood-style teeth—perfect, snow white, and identical. My fiancé is pressuring me to get them “fixed” before the wedding. In Europe, it's just not part of the culture to get what I see as plastic surgery on healthy teeth. If he asked me to get a boob job to fit in, I'd be horribly insulted. I see this request as something similar, he doesn't. How do I convince him that there's beauty in idiosyncrasy?
