Every year, more and more men from all over the world make a decision to find a wife in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the former Soviet Union. They are desirable marriage partners for several reasons: these girls are beautiful, tender, loyal, smart, and intelligent. So what should do you if you would like to find love with such a woman? There are numerous Russian mail order brides in special international marriage agencies. Generally, search, introduction, and communication are arranged via the World Wide Web, and the agency tries to simplify these processes as much as it is possible. However, keep in mind that one day, you will meet your future bride in person. After long communication on the Internet, you will definitely get to know each other well, but cultural differences can be tricky for both of you. Even if you overcome all difficulties and decide to marry, the hardest part is yet to come - the Russian wedding ceremony with its traditions and habits. As for an unprepared man, it can be a big surprise. Thereby, our collection of recommendations can be very useful for you - read it carefully to be prepared!
Money matters.
The first complication is money. Economies of Russia and Ukraine are rather poor, and Russian women usually earn an amount of money per month equal to your earnings for a day or two. Meanwhile, if you decide to celebrate a traditional Russian wedding, the price can be very high, and you should be ready to rely only on yourself in money matters. For Russian women, legal and church ceremonies are tremendously important, and they will want to have the best wedding accessories, starting with a dress, rings, restaurant, church, and finishing with photos and cookies. As you may see, you ought to be ready to spend some money, but it is definitely worth it, Russian weddings are unforgettable!
Cultural and legal conflicts.
The second important aspect is the difference in culture and traditions. You and your wife will have to work hard to find the common ground, especially about a blessing ceremony. Due to the fact that most Russian women are Orthodox Christians and foreign men are Catholics, the first complication is a church ceremony. Another question is a legal one. Due to the fact that she is not a citizen of your country, and she requires a visa to come to you, it may take a lot of time to handle all legal issues. To prevent these conflicts, you might require help of the international marriage agency. It is always ready to support you and answer all your questions.
Family and friends.
As it was mentioned earlier, Russian women want and appreciate a magnificent wedding. Moreover, they want to invite all their relatives, friends, and colleagues to the ceremony. Thereby, it will be very disappointing for them to marry in your country without their loved ones. For this reason, wealthy men try to celebrate two weddings: the first one in the bride's country and the second one - in his home country. However, if you don't have such an opportunity, the least you can do is to bring her parents to your wedding abroad; she will definitely appreciate it.
Overall, if you have any uncertainty about traditions and habits of your bride's country, it is better to ask your marriage agency for help and clarification. Its representative will provide full information to help you solve any complications on your way to happiness.
