I think there are ways to monetize this information but I think you are going about it all wrong. You don't want your families to disapprove or be upset but you seem oblivious to the way you are alienating the business community/your audience. Ask around. Find a more above-board means to make money off this. Win-win.
As for tradition and family: I generally feel they are allowed to set expectations if they are willing to help make it happen. If the expectation is that all the money comes out of your pocket, I don't feel they have any say. But I realize I come from a different culture.
FWIW: My family was upset when they learned of my elopement. My marriage lasted longer than either of my siblings. I think I did the right thing.
- krmmalik 16y agoI stated in my post that I am open to suggestions. Please help me if you have any win-win suggestions.
- NovemberWest 16y agoUnfortunately, the sum total of my suggestions are above: "Ask around" or "elope". I don't know the best way to go about making money off this. But it's clear from the comments here that this isn't going over well, so won't likely get you anything. I've spent a lot of years trying to figure out how to monetize information. My answer: Ads and affiliate programs and good content. Can't say I'm making much yet. So perhaps I'm not a good person to take advice from in that regard. Best of luck, with your marriage and your business.

- krmmalik 16y agoPS - Time is of the essence PPS - It would take me way too long and spin-off a whole new conversation to explain the dynamics of my culture and background.
- NovemberWest 16y agoAnd it would take me too long to explain why I disagree with a great many things about how things are currently handled and see no reason to go along with them -- which is why I started this blog: So I can pontificate at length, partly in hopes of helping others get a bit more free of such burdens. Again: Best of luck.
