you deserve this

“I feel so honoured that you’re choosing to share this with me.” Eve whispered.

“I said I’d give you everything. All of me. All of you. Can’t break that promise, right?”

I have so much respect for those couples who wrestled with intergenerational cultural conflicts when wedding planning, particularly with immigrant parents. Y'all are strong folk and deserve the world, sending my love

30 - Unity

'Let the seven gifts of the land be joined — at the last.' [Zara's father said.] Adin took the great gem and pressed it to the last, empty space in the belt. It slipped into place with a tiny click. And at that moment, our world changed. TALES OF DELTORA The Deltora Annals The Battle for Deltora

just wanted to draw my moon and stars ocs since i love them and they are Adin-era so i guess it fits the first deltora unification but then i ended up drawing them in wedding garb so i guess it's double unity or something alsdkfjh

anyway this is Badr of Rithmere and Luisa of Del, theyre warriors who spedrun enemies to lovers because of the shadow invasion. they often had princess bride esque encounters of "you seem a decent fellow i hate to kill you" "you seem a decent fellow i hate to die lol" type of border skirmishing / patrolling etc. found themselves fighting side by side at hira and developed a nicer respect rather than the grudging kind and they began to enjoy each other's company more as they could hang out in peace under Adin's rule

i think it's too presumptuous to say that they were the first intercultural marriage, i would imagine that there were some at least they were just quieter and lived in the country or something to avoid conflict. but badr and luisa's wedding(s) wouldve been a big deal post-adin's coronation because now everyone is start to trade and intermingle and chat with each other in friendly terms, and they would be well known for their courage and skills so their respective cities were definitely Too Involved lmao

anyway del people are curious and love travelling so i think generally they wouldve been like "oh cool" but also "please have a del wedding with us" because they want to partayyy 🎉 etc but the mere were probably waaaaaaaaaay more reserved. maybe average reserved. like not the most suspicious but also not the most enthusiastic lol. they'd be like woah a stranger here. but luisa is so bubbly and loveable they take to her eventually 😌💙

i drew a rough version of the mere wedding attired because i've sort of done del wedding attire for jaslief so i thought why not try something else

also it's a coincidence but ive latched onto it so much but im obsessed with giving del moon imagery because of how the topaz and the moon are so interlinked and i think it's important to their culture, but guess what's also in the night sky. stars. you know who's famous for star motifs?? the mere. [always sunny in philadelphia red string.gif]

here's some drawings i haven't posted yet because i've been trying to do the warrior getup for all the tribes and i haven't done that yet lol

they're my favs my lil guys :)

and all because i drew a mere person swindling a del person once upon a time lmao

Had a dream where I attended an interculture coming of age wedding ceremony between Parseltongue Muslim Indian Family and Parseltongue British Christians, and it was an interesting ceremony where the contract between the couple was hurn and the oil was extracted then to be put on the bride and grooms face or even drank. I lnew they were Parseltongue because I saw the contract and the shifty dream words on it.

I kinda got kicked out of the ceremony and didnt see the rest of it but as I was kicked out everyone else left the ceremony from the disrespect I was given. Love those dream family honestly.

(it was a long dream I also remember gallivanting in the rain and just skipping around when some parts were pouring like crazy and the other spots are just soft showers it was fun)

I don't know much about Jews community and Israel culture, what I know is that Israel actually think less to other Jewish communities and cultures in the world that don't follow Israel rules and example.

To the point that Israel made laws that see intercultural weddings as some kind of blasphemy and other racist-neonazi bullshit.

This last year was the great "wake up call" for everyone in the world.

Hey I’d really appreciate it if goyim and even ashkenazi Jews would read and rb this

Sinneró fell to the earth as a torrential rain at the very beginning of time, collecting in unwelcomed floods and storming through city gates with all the restlessness of lonely gods. Nearly a millenia later, Masley fell in love with him. He asked her to marry him three times, without once wondering how she could understand an immortal spring like him.

He was kind, mostly, but he was ancient and would forget simple things about the world. He might remember the fall of empires from his distant view, but forget that phones existed at all. They might be walking peacefully hand-in-hand when he would halt to question how engines work or ask where a building was, only to find it had burned down centuries ago. He didn’t have many cosmic answers, so she let him be spring: chaotic, unpredictable, and frustrating. If she missed him while he wandered some mythic realm, she had only to look at the infinite bas reliefs decorating every cathedral. They were hardly a likeness, but he was there, in every public fountain and bill of currency, in statues heralding government houses, around the necks of anxious grandmothers, even tiled into the ancient road leading to the museum. He was in the art she curated, slipping into conversations as naturally as he’d appeared in her life. 

He was more complex than the adoring Shín allowed, regarding his duality as the cornerstone of their civilization. Masley might have had more qualms about what it meant to love such a god, had she been one of them, however, she was not Shín, so instead of worrying about conflicting mortalities, they had fights like any other intercultural couple. Once Mas called him a tired bear and he wasn’t nearly as offended as he ought to have been. Another time, Sinne, covered head to toe in flour, proudly presented a traditional pie that was neither nutty nor delicious, and Mas told him as much. Their worlds held the weights of existing in different ways, and as they grew familiar with who wanted questions asked and who wanted time to be upset, a new pattern began to form. It was beautifully intricate, a mosaic of braids and twists woven between them by Fate or destiny or the stars or Masley and Sinneró themselves. 

Sinneró, bound to his godly province by a people as they waxed and waned, rather than any maps or walls or gods, dreamed of visiting Masley’s neighboring homeland of Biv–of learning everything there was to know about her, so he could make her happy. Though he’d never had to define concepts like emotion, or communicate ideas like love, it made him laugh when she pouted, and it made him happy when she smiled, and it made him mad when she was disappointed or hurt or sad, and that was close enough to how she’d explained love when they’d met at the museum. 

Sinneró happily made room for Masley in his vast expanse of life. He made wedding decisions, met her friends for brunch, messaged her throughout the day, bashfully forgot to pay bills, and sat patiently through her lectures. He was content exploring the depths of their love, but Masley didn’t seem to do the same. She rushed around him, a new tributary desperately defining itself, never revealing its source. Still, Sinneró did not stop to ask how a human could love a chaos like Spring.

I love the kind of intercultural weddings when each part of the couple dresses in their own traditions ❤️

Trump welcomed Indian ‘bahu’

IMC WEB DESK NEW DELHI: ‘As I began to think deeply about my identity, I fell hard for a classmate of mine named Usha’ JD Vance, Ohio Senator and Trump’s pick for Vice President reminisced about his Indian-origin wife.

I feel like there's something correct about a lesbian wedding having a intercultural conflict with a dragon.

Pareek Matrimony - Bridging Communities Through Marriage

Introduction:

Matrimony in the Pareek community transcends the union of individuals; it serves as a bridge that connects families and communities, reinforcing cultural bonds while embracing the dynamics of modern relationships. This exploration delves into how Pareek matrimony plays a pivotal role in fostering unity and continuity within the community.

Cultural Significance and Traditions:

Pareek matrimony is deeply rooted in cultural significance and age-old traditions. From elaborate engagement ceremonies to vibrant wedding rituals, each step is imbued with meaning, symbolizing not just the union of two individuals but also the integration of families and the preservation of ancestral customs. These traditions serve as a cornerstone of identity, celebrating shared values and heritage.

Community Cohesion and Support:

Marriage in the Pareek community extends beyond the couple to encompass the collective support of families and the community at large. Matchmaking often involves the input of elders and extended family members, who ensure compatibility based on cultural, social, and economic factors. This collective approach not only strengthens familial bonds but also nurtures a sense of unity and solidarity within the community.

Adaptation to Modern Realities:

While rooted in tradition, Pareek matrimony has adapted to modern realities and aspirations. Young Pareek individuals increasingly seek partners who align with their personal values and career ambitions, reflecting a shift towards individual choice and autonomy in marital decisions. This evolution underscores the community's ability to embrace change while preserving its cultural essence.

Role of Technology and Matrimonial Services:

Technology has revolutionized the landscape of Pareek matrimony, offering platforms where individuals can connect beyond geographical boundaries. Matrimonial services cater specifically to Pareek communities, blending traditional matchmaking principles with the convenience of digital platforms. These services facilitate the search for compatible partners while respecting cultural sensitivities and familial preferences.

Celebration of Diversity and Inclusivity:

Pareek matrimony celebrates diversity within the community, accommodating regional variations and personal preferences while upholding core traditions. Inter-community marriages are welcomed, fostering intercultural dialogue and enriching the fabric of Pareek identity. This inclusivity strengthens community bonds and promotes mutual understanding among diverse segments of society.

Challenges and Resilience:

Despite the evolving landscape, Pareek matrimony faces challenges such as balancing tradition with modernity, navigating cultural expectations in a globalized world, and addressing generational shifts in marital expectations. However, these challenges also stimulate innovation and adaptation, ensuring that Pareek matrimony remains resilient and relevant amidst changing societal dynamics.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Pareek matrimony serves as a vital link that bridges communities through the institution of marriage. It embodies the harmony between tradition and modernity, uniting individuals in shared cultural heritage while accommodating the aspirations of contemporary lifestyles. As Pareek communities continue to evolve, matrimony remains a cornerstone of identity and cohesion, reinforcing bonds that transcend generations and uphold the rich tapestry of cultural values.
