Does anyone know any nepali getting married with a foreigner in nepal with the nepali traditional way? I have a Boyfriend from a country other than nepal and I was thinking to go to nepal and get married with family around but I don´t know if that is going to be weird. Please suggest about this...silly question....sorry.

sumankomal,

why do you really fancy to marry foreigner whom you are not quite confidence to do so ? Shame on to all sajha user guys that you have to look for some foreigners!

Anyway, There are so many example of such marriages. It is a sort of new experience and you will be on everybody's eyes for sometimes being in Nepal. This is not the big issue, it matters your life after marrying the guy. Do you want him stay in Nepal or you gonna live with him where is he now after marriage. In long run, it would be sort of cultures and traditional complication for sometimes.

At the end of the day, it is a new experienece of your life with such a person who is from different back ground, cultures,etc ..... It depends on both partners for mutual respectation of each other's valuess for successful life ...!

Good Luck !

Sumankomal,
I think the best thing to do is ask your parents. The wedding ceremony means a lot to the parents and relatives than to the ones getting married. Seems like you have already gotten married here. I do not think it will be weird because I have attended such a wedding ceremony, and have heard of many others. The nepali relatives recieve the non-Nepali groom quite well. It's quite common these days. I am assuming your husband also is up for it. Be prepared to sit in front of the fire for hours. There is also the option of doing a short and sweet version of the wedding ceremony. As I said, your parents would be the ones to talk to.

I got married in USA. I organized all my rituals in a temple and performed a short-cut version of traditional Nepali wedding with an assistance of a “puret baje”. But I would have enjoyed it more if it was to happen in Nepal surrounded by family, relatives and friends. So if it is feasible, I would suggest you to get married in Nepal. I can assure you that you would be pleased with this decision. Congratulations and good luck with your planning!!!

i think going back to nepal and getting married is a great idea it will be more fun. i think u should do 2 weddings one his style and one urs.

कुहिरेको देशमा हाम्रो जस्तो लहरि भरि दाईजो दिने चलन छैन्
नेपालमा बिवाह गरेमा तन्न दाइजो पाइन्छ्
विवाह उत्तै गर्नु राम्रो हो ।
कुहिरेहरु दाईजो भनेर एउटा गुलाब्को फूल
एक बोतल वाइन लिएर आउंछ भन्दा बढी
नेपालमा गएर गर्नुहोस् निक्कै फाइदा हुन्छ
आजकाल हनिमूनले पनि छोइसक्यो

Current cabinet minister Dr. Durga Pokharel's husband is American and they infact married in Nepal with Nepali cultural way.

Buy a Daura-suruwal for you husband-to-be and get married in Nepal.

With Best Wishes,
