As an aside I've been really excited and jumping up and down on 2 big occasions - when I proposed to my boyfriend and he said yes (we've been together 15 years now - 11 of them married) and when I received the letter saying our visa had been approved.
If I'd waited for my Mother-in-laws approval for the wedding we would never have been married (but that's a topic for another post
) and I know that cultures differ widely on this.
Life should be lived with passion - however it's expressed
Regards,
Karen
