I had 1 female make the same comment re the passport, but she's an unhappy idiot!
My Father was also very cautious, but that's his nature.
Everyone else has been 100% supportive, especially after meeting Lyn.
I can't comment on Thai / English and Filipino / English marriages as I am
100% Celt which is a different race, but I know what you mean.
All the Scottish/Asian marriages I know of here are very loving,
successful relationships.
I have always said that it's not too important what others think as our
love and respect for each other is so strong, but it's a great bonus that my friends and family have accepted Lyn totally, she's so happy about that and it gives her family peace of mind too.
Best wishes, Tommy and Lyn.
