He's everything I've ever wanted and we work so well together. My problem is, my fiancee is Nigerian and he has the gorgeous dark skin to match his nationality. Unfortunately, my family is fairly racist. My parents have gotten used to it, and are more supportive now then they were at the start, but my extended family has no clue and definitely would NOT be okay with it. I'm from a rural area, and have always been really close to my extended family, and it would break my heart if they didn't come to my wedding. I guess my question is, how can I resolve this or best break this news to my family? I realize that it's going to come as a shock and they won't exactly be thrilled for me, but I want to minimize the damage as much as possible. Help?!</p></blockquote><p></p>
