Intercultural couples?

Hi everyone -

I'm writing a book on intercultural wedding planning and I'm would like to talk to cross-cultural couples about their experience. The book will detail all the ups and downs of intercultural wedding preparation, and hopefully help couples navigate some of the thornier issues like - preparing a bilingual ceremony, dealing with competing cultural norms, cultural problems with future inlaws, planning more than one wedding ceremony, etc.

I've already interviewed about 30 couples and am looking to speak to some 20-30 more. I'm especially interested in couples that planned a bilingual wedding, and those that encountered cultural problems during the planning process. However, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is married to (or planning to marry) someone from a different cultural background.

If you're interested in participating, please contact me at [email protected].

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses!

Stephanie - Yikes! Don't think I'm yet ready to write a book on intercultural divorce. Hopefully I won't have first-hand experience of that.

Shweta - Cool. Would you be willing to chat with me about your wedding? I'll PM you.

Carol - You wouldn't happen to still be in contact with that family, would you? If so, I'd love to hear about that wedding.

Anyone else??

Laurie, did your reasons for eloping have anything do with avoiding cultural issues? If so, then I'd definitely be interested in speaking with you. Thanks for responding!
