While the path to acceptance within his family may be difficult, Jasmine’s actions serve as a reminder that sometimes standing up for oneself is necessary, even if it causes tension.
Ultimately, Jasmine and Arnold create their own traditions, proving that mutual respect in a relationship is key, and sometimes, a little shock is needed for change to happen.
