when the time is right and you have found the right person--nepali or not --you will know--am not nepali--my husband is--he came to america about 14 yrs ago-we've been married almost 10 yrs and dated for 2 yrs--to make the marriage work-we made a rule never to say" we do the his nepali way" or "we do my way--asian way--" we do whatever works-it's not that easy--we also have friends that are married to other nationalities-americans included but i believe it'a work in progress. As my husband said-it would have been hard for him to have married a nepalese and bring her over here after he spent so many years in the usa already. Meeting my inlaws -was easier than i thought--they are the coolest--very hassle free-2 requirements--visit nepal once a year and wear sindhoor--that's no big deal for me--mom-in-law doesnt speak hindi or english-but i learned to speak conversational nepali so we get a long just fine there are good days and bad days just like any couple-we even got married 3 times- catholic, hindu and court--we try to do everything --asian new year, nepali new year, desai, christmas-we celebrate both cultures so our child can experience and grow up knowing both-- hope this helps
