Hello, I am planning my wedding. On the outside, I appear as a white American. However, I practice Sanatan Dharma (hinduism). I will be marrying a man who is American by birth and not Hindu, although he is open to the customs and beliefs. We will be partaking in hindu rites and rituals at our wedding. I am stuck between deciding if I want to wear a white gown or a traditional saree for the occasion. I have had the dream of wearing both, and silly as it may sound, I would personally like to wear white during the ceremony but a saree to the reception. This seems illogical to me as the 'correct' place for each garment would be the opposite, the saree at the ceremony and the white gown at the reception. And yet, I would like my wedding photos to be of me in a white gown. I do not know what to do, nix one and wear the other entirely? Perhaps. Please, any advice or scenarios would be appreciated. TIA

There's this girl I know, I care a lot about her and learned to love her (not in that romantic way but in a sort of brotherly way). She lives with some relatives who treat her a bit 'badly'. She doesn't have many friends and feeld outcast and alone. We live in a small town so things aren't easy if you don't have well off parents or if you weren't born there. Anyway. I decided to move to another state with better work perspectives. I plan to go to where a friend of mine lives and get a job, since here no one hires me, cause my parents are not from here. This girl found out I was leaving and reacted crying, asking me why I didn't tell her etc.. she said I was her only friend and said was disappointed cause I didn't even tell her I was leaving (I didn't say cause I knew she would have cried). Then she took my shirt and refused to let me go. All the people at the station were watching us. Then I hugged her and she somehow calmed down. She said If I go she will rot here in this town, alone and without no one to take care of her. She begged me to take her with her. I didn't. Cause she had no suitcase with her and didn't tell my friend I was bringing a 18 years old girl to live with us. So I told her to wait for me to adjust and find a job first, then she can come with me. But we are not married, and I doubt her conservative old fashioned relatives will let het stay at a guy's place without being her boyfriend or being married. Should I take her with me next time?
