Cultural Differences

: We met and fell in love 10 years ago in college, and it still stands that he the best thing that ever happened to me, according to Huffington Post Canada. I fell in love with him because he was perfect for me -- and he just happened to be from a completely different culture than my own. We are the living, walking, breathing epitome of cultural differences -- he is Hindu, I am Catholic; he is a strict vegetarian, I am not; he comes from a huge traditional Iyengar family, I come from a very small Canadian family. Sure, we have had our challenges. But our journey getting to know each other cultures has been beautiful, mind-blowing and so interesting. There were difficulties being accepted by his family, we still have frequent misunderstandings, we get stared at a lot in public, and we feel a bit isolated in our journey as an intercultural couple because our mix is such a rarity.
