It's time we move from that notion of seeking validation from family and relatives for what we truly believe in and want, for marriage the couples are the ones who will be in that marriage not the 'family', and unfortunately most wait for the slightest disagreement within the marriage to begin shouting 'i told you so'
I gave up on someone I loved because of listening to family, I should have stood my ground and stood by her, only to realise I made a mistake just because 'family' didn't want her.
Waiting for the consent thingy, steemOn!
The consent thingy is really frustrating especially when there is no reasonable basis for the refusal
