SeanJohn agony auntHey Vic,

You two really are the Romeo & Juliet of your times :)

Your situation is very common in today's multicultural world.

How long have you known each other? In the beginning it is easy to mistake infatuation for love. What adds to the sense of love is the fear of opposition. Give it a few months. Go out together. The best way to know each other is to give yourselves time.

Go with your heart. But understand a few things as well.

Do either of you intend to convert to the other's religion before/after marriage?

How about children? What religion would the children grow up as?

How comfortable are you both embracing each other's belief systems? Celebrating Christmas and Eid together?

End of the day, what matters is how much you love each other and if you are willing to work out your differences and not fight about them!!

But it will not be easy. The first 3 years of newly marrieds are very tough and take patience and love to get thru.

The honeymoon phase is over soon when the day to day reality strikes you?
