Tan, however, developed a master plan to make his parents like his fiancee and in the end, they fell in love with her and gave their blessing to the marriage.
He recounted how he did it in a post on social media. He wrote…
“As you can imagine, dating a black/African woman isn’t always welcomed with open arms in Chinese/Asian culture. And sure enough, when I started dating Edna, I had kickback from my parents— especially from my dad."

“My dad is a great father and I respect him a lot. He has incredible work ethic, sacrificed a lot to provide for us, and always puts our family first— I attribute most of who I am today to the example he set. So it was extremely upsetting when he told me he didn’t approve of Edna.”
He added that they continued rejecting her until they learned through conversations, all that she had done for their son.
Tan concluded saying that after three years of dating, they finally walked down the aisle with his family in full support..
