Relationship issues
Mr. Tau and I have been going out for almost three years. We're now talking about moving in/marriage/etc, but we have some issues. Or, at least, I THINK we have some issues. Mr. Tau and I are not only of different ethnic backgrounds, but also different religions. Neither of us is all that religious (though I do "observe" Lent by not drinking espresso), but he has some relatives who are. He says that some of his relatives may have issues with certain types of ceremonies (namely anything Christian-related)...and I think at times, he is too. He says that some of his relatives may have issues with venues that are formerly restricted. It's interesting, because many Chinese Canadians (especially more recent immigrants from Hong Kong) have no problems with being members of clubs that were formerly restricted, but Mr. Tau is not the first Jewish person I know who has had issues. He's also gone on about having a reception that is a mix of Chinese and Jewish culture, yet he says that the food must be kosher, because some of his relatives are observant (sorry, but if you're going to include Chinese food, the reception ain't going to be truly kosher. "Simulated" kosher can be done though.)
Mr. Tau's older sister is getting married this summer. Her fiance is not Jewish. I guess we'll see how the extended family react before. In any case, Mr. Tau hasn't officially asked me yet...
What do you guys think?
