Hi Mrs. Bee,

I am white and my husband is black. I was worried about it at first but everyone has been wonderful. Both of our families see how happy we make each other and that is what has been important to them. I was especially worried because he has 2 teenage daughters from a previous marriage - I was afraid we would have issues with the ex. If she has problems with a white woman being involved with her girls, she has done a very good job of keeping it to herself. I feel very lucky!

my fh is indian (as in, his parents are from india) but it’s not that big of an issue. my white (polish/italian/irish/french) family really likes him. my grandmother was won over by the fact that he was raised catholic (even though i wasn’t). of course, it’s a big joke w/ our friends because he is seriously white-washed and i’m really interested in indian culture, so a couple people refer to me as the indian half of our interracial couple.

oh, and when one of my uncles was told my fh was indian, in an amazing display of the lack of tack that makes my family both amusing and somewhat embarassing , he asked “dot or feather?”

It’s funny, because I’m half hispanic, half scottish, and I’ve only ever dated non-hispanics, in fact, I dated middle eastern guys for a long time. Paul (FI) is the only hispanic guy I ever dated, and now I’m marrying him. :)It’s an oddity to marry in our race in our family- my brother married an australian, my dad with my hispanic mom, my hispanic aunt with an African American, and all things like that. There is not one person in our family who has married their own race. I love it, there is no racism, we all love each other and potlucks are always great!

I’m Chinese and my FI is half Italian and half a mostly European mix. Like K, I am the first in my family to have an inter-racial marriage. Surprising to most, I’ve never dated an Asian before, only “white”. Luckily my parents and other family don’t care about race, just that their children are happy in their relationships.

My fiance is so excited about having mixed children, we fondly refer to our but-a-twinkle-in-our-eye-kids as “halfsies” and he thinks that halfsie girls “are totally hot.” He’ll be the proud father of a “hot” daughter … I don’t know if he knows what he’s getting himself into.

I am Brazilian and my fiance is white American. Growing up in Brazil, race was never an issue, everyone there is mixed and “color blind” and very welcoming to other cultures. I am the result of a beautiful mix of Portuguese, Spanish, French, Middle Eastern and Native Brazilian. I am thrilled to marry someone of a different “race” and culture. As our pastor says during our pre-marital counseling sections “If we married someone that was just like ourselves, life would be so boring…”

I’m cambodian and he’s white. It’s not a challenge bc we don’t let it be one. My parents wishes he would enjoy asian food more, but oh well…

I’m Chinese, but all my life I have had an aversion to dating Chinese guys. I hate to be shallow, but I just don’t find myself physically attracted to the body type. At all. In any case, it was hardly a surprise when things became serious with my British/Scottish-descent boyfriend.

Like Turtle mentioned above, my parents think my boyfriend exemplifies many of the traditional values (hard work, intelligence, modesty, etc.) better than a lot of the actual Chinese guys my age. I actually think my parents might like my boyfriend better than they like me! ^_^

Hi Bee! Ha, it’s your name. I know whatta geek I am to be so amused by it! Anyways, thank you so much for posting up my question about walking down the aisle, I’m still a bit undecided, but am leaning towards having just my dad walk me down the aisle. As for the interracial marriage, Theo and I are both filipino, however, I was raised with all the traditional filipino background. Theo, on the other hand, was more American raised. It has caused not a problem between relationships among our families, but more like “I don’t know what to say kind of relationship.” I wish they can talk beyond the, “Hi how are you,” but at least they don’t hate each other!

every relationship i’ve been in has been interracial.

i’m korean and black [yay hapas!] and my bf is black with a tiny sliver of white [i think like 1/4...just enough for me to make fun of him]. there have been no problems on either side. he’s always been interested in the asian culture and his friends used to tell him his perfect girl would be korean and black.

honestly, i don’t know any other way since i claim both sides of my racial heritage, the only way i wouldn’t be in an interracial relationship was if i dated another korean and black kid.

i’m korean and the hubbs taiwanese… i always thought i was going to marry a korean, cuz i have such a mixed family, mexican, white, viet., native indian, etc… i wanted to make sure my kid could speak korean and not lose it like the rest of my cousins…
