My boyfriend, now FI, proposed to me right before Christmas. I was overjoyed and excited until the reality of planning began to sink in. Our families are very different in all aspects. He is Korean and I am Bi-racial. Aside from that, his parents are weathy and married; mine are divorced and not as wealthy. My parents are willing to provide a sum of money and expect his to pay the other half. His parents are upset with my parents and unwilling to contibute at this time (not because they can't) but because of "tradition" and "principle". They think it is wrong that my parents are not willing to provide me with a "proper wedding." I should note that my fiance agree's with his parents. Any advise? this is suppose to be one of the most exciting times of my life but so far it has been a headach.
