My parents have made it clear that anybody in our house should not dare get married or even date anyone from the south south part of Nigeria, you're allowed to get married to any other tribe preferably my tribe, but guess where my heart is carry me to ...... Your guess is as good as mine. In all of this the only person standing firm behind my parents that I know of is my elder sister (I have two elder sisters) the eldest is saying so far he treats me right and I'm sure I want to get married to him no problem, my eldest brother sad the same thing and my immediate elder brother just said "try to convince them and make sure they agree to your relationship with him". Parents do this a lot because they want to help their children avoid future mistakes and all that which is very understandable, but in my case, ethnicity is the problem.
My elder sister came up with this whole if you guys finally set up the wedding I'm not attending, you say what?! Like I care. Sincerely, if there were other issues tied to my parents rejection I could consider it but still would not say no because I literally will be the one staying with my spouse and we have been together and I know my left from my right although not totally not even up to 80% but I know this is the person I love. I'm not going to run away, I'm not going to convince my parents because I have been doing that and they are not listening but I think ignoring them would be just the perfect thing to do.
Yes! I would ignore them, even before this prompt came out it has already been decided by yours truly ME that I'm going to ignore them. My elder sister was making a fuss about this whole thing one day, she said I'm stubborn, a tribe that the whole world hates, this and that and I replied to her "people do get married and their family members knows nothing about it not even the date or venue" it's as simple as that, I have seen and heard people do that. Although I'm not going to do that but I might if I get pushed to the wall. In fact that's what I'm doing.
