When I saw my friends later on, they would say to
us, “what a beautiful wedding.” By American
standards, it was pretty good.
My wife would remain silent when they made such
comments. I would remain silent. From my wife’s
Russian viewpoint, our wedding was a miserable
failure.
My recommendation is to take your fiancé to an
American wedding before you get married. I don’t
care if you know the people well at the wedding or
not. Crash a wedding if you have to.
My wife knew none of the customs here. She didn’t
know where to shop. She had no friends to help her.
I planned the wedding. I lined up the church, the
reception hall, the priest, the music, the cake --
everything.
