Leaving tonight for my boyfriend's brother's wedding. His family doesn't like me so it's going to be a bit stressful. Add in the culture shock of a 500 person Macedonian wedding and it's going to be an intense weekend.
Try your best to hang in there and have fun where you can. A 500 person wedding sounds like an experience. A 500 person Macedonian wedding sounds like a hell of an experience. Also, I had to look Macedonia up on a map. I mean, I knew it exists, but I didn't know where. That place is tiny. You could probably walk from one border to the other in a little over a week.
His mom tried to get him to send flowers to a Macedonian girl who she's been trying to set him up with. We live together and have been dating for several years. I'm the opposite of what his mom wants for him. She wants someone to stay at home and take care of him, cook, clean, ect. I have a career and I'm not domestic at all. It's a bit of culture shock on both sides.
I honestly don't see how that's okay different culture or not. I hope things work out in the endHis mom tried to get him to send flowers to a Macedonian girl who she's been trying to set him up with. We live together and have been dating for several years
From what I've seen and heard about many couples in situations like this, I've come to a conclusion. After marriage, in laws seem to get much better, or much, much worse. My wife lucked out. Both her parents and my parents are convinced she's too good for me. :/I hope things work out in the end.
