Interracial Marriage

Hi my name is brianna I am amercian and I am engaged to an arabic guy. He is very americanized but his family is very conservative and religious and my family is the complete opposite. They wear head scarfs and they believe the wedding should be seperated men and women. However, i dont want my wedding to be seperated. I need some advice on how we can merge together both of our families and cultures for the wedding. It seems pretty much impossible to me

Maybe you should think of having two ceremonies .
One for your family and friends. And then one for his family that respects their customs. After all you will become a part of his family and need to adjust and also honor all aspects that come with merging two lifestyles together. Best wishes.
