I really don't know where else to put this. There doesn't seem to be a "family issues" board on the wedding site, just the nest site.Here's some background. Fiance's Indian. I'm not. His parents have threatened to disown him if he marries a non-Indian woman. They've been making this threat long before I met him, so it isn't me personally they have a problem with, just my ethnic background.We haven't told his family about our engagement yet because I'm trying to postpone his losing them as long as possible. He lost touch with most of the extended family for various reasons years ago. He has no contact with any family in India and little contact with any family in the States outside of his parents, younger brother, and one aunt (dad's sister). His brother, he says, expects us to get married and won't cut contact with him.His parents and aunt, however, have told him numerous times that should he choose to marry a non-Indian woman, he will be "dead to them." I cannot for the life of me fathom how anyone could actually give up on family, especially for this, but there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening. He says he won't change his decision to marry me, and that their reaction won't bother him, but I suspect it hurts him more than he's willing to let on.How do we handle this situation? We'd planned to invite his brother to the wedding. Should we extend an invitation to the rest of the family as well? On the one hand, they'll likely ignore it. On the other hand, these are the people who raised him (and did a darn good job, at that; he's amazing) and I don't believe they will be able to just turn their backs on him without feeling SOMEthing. What's the best way to deal with this?
