i have posted before about me and egor. he is the love of my life.
we intend to stay together and we are planning a future together.
he has told me he is going to ask me to marry him someday... but we have talked about everything but the actual wedding.

its really difficult because his parents live in the USA, but the rest of his family is in russia. we both have fairly small families as well.
I read on the other post about russian weddings........ but i want my american dream wedding. He loves me so much, i dont think he'll demand to have a russian wedding. but its difficult because we are different cultures and its hard to compromise and bend with something like this.

any input?

well as far as weddings go it is the bride and her family who chose the wedding so there you have it...if you want the traditional wedding...but why not have two weddings...one here and one there...that way everyone is accomodated. Word to the wise...it might be best to keep personal photos off the net.
