So before I rant about the Asian family drama that happens whenever someone gets engaged and the things you can do to prevent that, let me share with you a few factors that I had absolutely no control over that helped me avoid a lot of that stuff.
Being the youngest
Both my husband and I are the youngest in the family and we have sisters. He has one and I have two. And as the youngest, there’s definitely a lot less pressure to meet family and social expectations. Both sides had already been through a wedding and got their needs met, itches scratched, anxieties dampened, traditions fulfilled. So by the time the youngest offspring decides to get hitched, it’s anti-climactic. They’re more interested in the grandkids than the actual wedding.
