Everything was amazing in the beginning when I moved to America. We were so happy to finally be together, and I got familiar with the place pretty quickly.

“Should everything always be amazing, perfect and bubbly when you are together with your family 24/7 for weeks?!” This summer I spent 5 weeks visiting my family in Europe.

033: How to get your wedding guests engaged in taking pictures

August 25, 2019 04:49 - 28 minutes - 30.5 MB

Engaged in taking pictures is when your wedding guests want group photos, they are ok with posing for the camera, or even just letting the photographer take candids of them. But ‘engaged’ could also mean guests who love to take pictures.  So, who wouldn’t want to do that?! Usually older people who think they don’t look good, or as young and slim. Or worse!- That they are not as important. Especially relatives, -parents and grandparents- who think they are not worth to be in the photo. ...

032: Introducing 'that' unknown culture on your wedding day

August 21, 2019 21:09 - 36 minutes - 38.1 MB

If you are with your partner for a while, you may have experienced that not everybody is as excited about your origin, culture and traditions as your partner is. Some friends and family members may even be against it. People are often so attached to their habits and believing in stereotypes, that they start to get afraid. The thought of somebody coming and changing everything scares them. Even if this resentment is toward more specific things like, following a tradition or ritual, can get fr...

Most people would choose photos based on memories they want to remember daily. So first you need to ask yourself: What do I want to be looking at every day? Do I remember how the photo was taken? Do I even want to have photos of myself in our home? Which colors are dominating in my home, and do I want the photos to match with the environment? *** SHOW NOTES:http://editvasadi.com/wedding-photo-display/ GMM COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gettingmarriedmulticulturally/ INS...

023: Cultural wedding traditions: What is 'normal'?

April 12, 2019 20:35 - 34 minutes - 35.6 MB

We have to be open minded and accepting when it comes to blended cultural wedding ceremonies.

In this episode I’m talking about what do we really consider as “normal”, and where to even start with multicultural wedding planning?

March 29, 2019 19:55 - 29 minutes - 31.3 MB

Are you thinking about not hiring a wedding photographer? Did you decide not to spend money on a professional photographer? Not everybody will find it important to document the big events of their life (the wedding, birth of your child, birthday parties...etc.) and that’s completely ok! We are not all the same! There are some people who like to preserve their memories and remember about their life with perfect, polished and posed photos, and that’s ok too. Other people would just want to e...

019: What are Womens' role in weddings? (Women's Day special)

March 08, 2019 17:06 - 22 minutes - 25.4 MB

As many of you know, Women’s Day started in the early 90s, as a movement when women wanted to speak up for their rights. It was a very strong and impactful movement. But in my mind, when I was younger, it was just a fun and joyful, spring-feeling holiday, with lots of flowers! In Hungary on this day boys would bring flowers to the girls at school. It was little bit like Valentine’s Day in America... When you are expected, but not required, to bring presents to everybody in class. Same way th...

018: My 6 culture shocks when moving to America

March 01, 2019 16:06 - 32 minutes - 34.2 MB

After growing up in Serbia, living in Hungary and Italy I moved to America. Which was a pretty big jump for me! Physically and culturally. So yes, I experienced plenty of culture shock. I left Europe 10 years ago, so I kinda forgot most of these cultural differences. I had to sit down and look at some pictures to relive my memories. At the end I made a list of 6 things that were culturally different from my experiences I had previously in my life. I would also like to say that these cultur...

February 08, 2019 14:00 - 36 minutes - 38.3 MB

Lots of countries and cultures have different laws, requirements, traditions and expectations when it comes to changing your name after the wedding. And if you’re marrying somebody from another culture, it may be harder to make a decision about your name changing than you think. But first, let’s see if you even want to change your name?! These days a lot of women would consider keeping their maiden name, because they strongly believe it is part of their identity. They really love the nam...
