If you are reading this article,
it is most likely that you have already found your Ukrainian bride and dated
her online for a while. Now you are considering the possibility of coming to Ukraine
Family and relatives are very
important for Ukrainian women, as their local culture is all family oriented.
Many Ukrainian ladies go on living with their parents until they get married,
and even after that they would still visit them often and listen to their
advices and opinions. When planning a visit to your
Ukrainian bride's family, you should know that Ukrainians are extremely
hospital. By using word "extremely" I meant to say that they would do
all possible and even more to impress you by their warm reception, and to set
up a fully loaded table for you.
Ukrainian women are excellent
cooks and your Ukrainian bride's mother would work hard to please you by
cooking and feeding you generously. So, do not eat before you go to visit your
lady's family. Also, try to eat as much as they offer you, otherwise if you
deny their hospitality you may hurt their feelings and upset them.
Now, they would work hard to
prepare for the meeting with you and accordingly you should not show up at
their house empty-handed. Thus, plan to bring some gifts for all your Ukrainian
bride's family members. First of all, bring a small present for your
sweetheart. It could be a bouquet of flowers and some sweets. Also, find out more about your
bride's family and bring small gifts for each of her relatives. You may bring a
bottle of good wine, cognac or vodka for her father and some flowers and candy
for her mother. If she has any brothers and sisters, bring them some presents,
too. If they are still kids, bring them some toys and sweets.
For more grown up family members
you may bring such small items as souvenirs from your country, good stationary,
fun cups, etc. If your lady has a child bring him or her a good and fun
present, this way you will win her heart and the hearts of all family. These
presents should not be expensive, but rather they should show your care and
desire to please them.
You should also consult your
Ukrainian bride and find out if it would be appropriate for you to buy some
food, such as cheese, sausage or fruit, for instance. In some families, they
would gladly welcome such gifts. Besides, discuss with your fiancé your dress
code for the event. She knows her parents well and can advise you as to your
dressing style, so you would make the best impression possible on her family.
Otherwise, do not wear too casual
