I think the only thing that truly offended me was the ordering pizza out of the funeral funds at grandmother's funeral by my Aunt, my grandmother's daughter. You're right, the rest just made me uncomfortable but that really offended me.

Hope all goes well for you and yours

I was more than willing, even thru the crying, to talk about him and his life and accomplishments. I wanted to do more than just mourn his loss, I wanted to celebrate his life. It didn't seem like that was the case.
I know at my grandmother's funeral, I was actually called "dramatic" because I didn't feel like getting my picture taken. People were lining up together, posing, and all that for pictures. I didn't want to do that. I just wanted to sit with my family. I just didn't feel it was right. Maybe it's just me, I know how stubborn I am

Are funerals and visitation services such a social event? I just came back from a visitation service, and it just amazed me how many people were there, eating, laughing, talking, socializing... right there with the person that died in the room. I know it's customary to have a lil party after the service, but this was during the service. It's one thing to have a celebration of life, tell tales & stories about the person that has passed, relive the good times. That's wonderful. But this, this was something else altogether. This was like a picnic, or a social gathering after church, everyone chitter chattering while munching on cookies and coffee. I noticed some of the people looking at me like they couldn't figure out why I was so sad and crying. It was the same way at my grandmother's funeral recently. They literally ordered pizza to the funeral home, so it would "come out of the funeral expenses and we don't have to pay for it" kids running around knocking stuff over, yelling, screaming, etc etc
Maybe it's just me, but I just find it "tacky" for lack of a better word. I come to a funeral to pay my respects to the person that died and their family. I don't come to a funeral for the cookies & pizza.

in my opinion, if you think it may be wrong for your marriage and you're having your doubts it's better to not do it at all.

Was going to say the same thing...

You're super cute. I would suggest adding a few more things about you. Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy

Its not that I have anything against Nigerians or Indians. My cousin's husband is Nigerian, they frequently visit Nigeria. However, there's LOTS of scams coming out of Nigeria. And quite frankly, when you're talking about a dating site, even it's legit and not a scam, I'm just plain not interested in dating someone from Nigeria or any other country besides the one I live in.

love it ty
