[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Desi parent here. Our desi DD married a WASP a few years ago.  In many key ways, it was a good match.  We paid entirely for the week long big fat Hindu Indian wedding  and many relatives and friends came from around the world.  Yes, there is no boycott of them and they are pretty much integrated into our network and well liked.  My DD guides him about what are the "asks" of the Indian community and it is not much.

I'm a Desi DD here and similar. I think as I was getting "older" (30!) my parents cared less about the stuff they used to focus on and were just happy I was getting married, lol. We went to the same good schools etc and that helped. My parents and DH parents got a long from the start.

We don't have a ton of "Indian community" where we live, our own friends are a mix. But we go to family friend weddings, family reunions, visit relatives, have been to India. Everyone has been great. We had a big wedding (though just a weekend) paid for by my parents and lots of relatives came (even from India and elsewhere) and put Indian family friends from growing up.

My DH is pretty chill and my parents even stayed wit us after each kid was born for long stretches. It's been fine. Every person and family is different of course.[/quote]
