Two themes wedding photos.

Okay so me and my spouse have settled on not having a big wedding Just a court house wedding and a huge honeymoon out of the country. I also want to do two wedding photo themes so my spouse is from India and I’m from America I wanted to do wedding photos in his cultural attire because I completely love his culture then one in a normal wedding dress. He doesn’t seem to like this idea and seems a bit embarrassed says he doesn’t understand why I want to do it and that it’s stupid. Should I try to convince him to do it or just leave it at that and just do normal pictures?
