So you have given up your faith for a man you love! Did you ever ask him if he could do the same for your love? That would be perhaps the first thing you should have assured yourself of.

You say you have converted to Islam but you are still learning about your new faith, culture and social norms in the Arab world! I would say you got the order wrong!

Again, people speak highly of love in novels and poems but practically love is transitory or one can say it goes through many highs and lows with time. I am a male so I don't trust males in this regard!! What if life compelled you to come out of it and start afresh?

For the present you will have to comply with all those formalities that Mandy has just listed. I would advise you to listen to her and not get carried by the pep talk of others.
