I dated an English guy when I was studying in the UK. The cultural differences were crazy. I am Iranian and because of our culture with poems/literature (persian), love is a very fantastical thing. Showing love is always super romantic & dramatic. Like you would tell someone you'd die for them (in different ways) at least 3 times a day. Even outside a romantic relationship, you'd tell a close friend ,family member or children that "I'd get sacrificed for you" in casual conversation or even as a form of saying thank you. eg: sister: "do you want me to make more coffee for you?" me: "no honey, I'd die for you". Even typing it in English sounds ridiculous but it's so enmeshed in our culture that we're used to it. We use it as a term of endearment and almost never think of the meaning. Now imagine me, from this culture, dating a very practical and logical English guy. I was 16, away from family for the first time and I just felt my bf didn't love me because AT MOST he'd just say I love you. I got used to it eventually but the first few months were terrible. The funny thing is, I'm now married to someone from my own culture but my time in the UK has made me cold from the point of view of onlookers because I'm far less dramatic in love 🤣

A not so happy intercultural relationship story: I am from the U.S., and in grad school, I started dating a grad student who was from south India. I enjoyed learning about his culture and meeting his friends. It was about 6 months into the relationship that one of his friends explained to me that I was just the girlfriend to be had until my boyfriend was pressured by his family to marry someone they arranged for him. I confronted my boyfriend, and he confirmed it. I wouldn’t have let the relationship get that far if I knew there was no chance of us getting married, but he never mentioned it, and I didn’t know enough to ask.

Don't feel bad -- been there, done that. I had no idea either -- definitely even in the states with US-born folks of Indian heritage you need to check out up front or at least very early on if the potential partner/family are planning on an arranged marriage. Sometimes they even send the adult child (more often the groom to be) back to the homeland to get introduced to potential brides and get engaged with plans to get married and then bring the bride back to the states. Very easy to get blindsided by this.

We haven't spoken since, so I don't know how the marriage worked out.

Not married but black american: it's common in some black american families, after the wedding ceremony the bride and groom will jump the broom - a literal broom. This is from slavery when enslaved people were not allowed to be married bc you could not separate married Christians. Jumping the broom was the ceremony that was allowed to announce their wedding to everyone while not anger the masters. Some families practice this tradition after the wedding ceremony and it's fun because the higher you and your partner can jump the stronger your marriage will be. One side of my family does this regularly but the other doesn't so not everyone celebrates it but it's an important tradition that shouldn't be forgotten.

Hi, I'm Czech, and 15 years ago, I married an Irish guy. We were madly in love for two years (and still are). Unfortunately, his mum didn't approve of our marriage and eventually disowned him. Our son was born in Ireland, but the low job opportunities and bad economy in 2008/2010 forced us out of Ireland. Since then, we have lived in three countries, trying our best to find a place where we would fit in. It is challenging, and we are still looking. The next one is going to be Finland. This probably sounds crazy, and looking back, many things we had done were 100% pure craziness. But we always 'pulled a magic rabbit out of our arse' (the Irish man said) and carried on. We both strongly feel that our home is where we can hug eachother. Also big Congratulations I hope your wedding will be just a start of best days of your life. Love your channels. Stay awesome ❤❤❤

My mother in law was unfortunately an acholic and we spend all our money to pay for her 4 bedroom house (even we weren't aloud to live there) When we stop paying because we simply couldn't afford any more she was furious. My husband use to take every year a loan to pay for her cruise ship holiday and when he lost his job my income wasn't good enough to pay her mortgage, holidays and our rent and food. So we had to stop paying. And she disown him because our son was born. I never tried to find logic in that, but that is how it happened.

I'm from Austria and in my region the bride stealing event at the wedding party is very common. The bride and groom would book a second wedding venue (usually a bar or restaurant) and late in the evening, the person who managed to steal the bride's wedding bouquet without being caught, would "steal the bride" and bring her to the second wedding venue while the groom has to "rescue her" by going after her (nowadays the bride and groom appoint the person who is to "steal the bride" before the wedding and leave the wedding bouquet unattended for them, when it's time for the event). When the bride is moved to the second venue by the "abductor" the younger adult guests and their close friends and family usually follow. In this way the wedding party is devided into two groups with the elderly guests, and families with young children staying at the main venue where it is quieter and the younger people getting really drunk and singing traditional drinking songs forcing the other guests and the bride and the groom to down one shot after another. A wedding usually starts around 10 (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) in the morning and ends at midnight when the father of the bride "passes" her to the groom one last time and they go home together as a married couple.

In Germany (my region, ie southwest) bride stealing works differently. The bride is taken away by friends and taken to different pubs.

For example, a birthday is at 2 but don't arrive at 2pm because you will be helping to clean and set up. but for his family, if the event starts at 2pm, the food and everything will be ready and set up at 2pm. and they have end times, where my family events don't really have end times unless there is a venue end time involved.

We started hanging out more outside of games and started dating soon after. After a while, we ended up pretty much being inseparable and have lived together as a couple for coming up on a year and a half now. About a year ago, we got priced out of our home city and moved to a nice little place nearby. Was really random how it all happened. We actually have the same first name too, lol.

I have a personal theory about "Polterabend". I think each marriage has a set (pre-ordained by spirits) amount of crockery that will be broken during the marriage. The plates and cups smashed during Polterabend are deducted from this amount. So: the more fragments on the Polterabend, the less crockery smashed during the couple's life together!

Hello from a geocacher in Florida, USA! I was so surprised to suddenly see a geocaching comment in the middle of an inter-cultural couples podcast!! 😂

He's a scientist, biology I think

Look at German Boyfriend's "draw me like one of your French girls" pose! 😂

After listening to different experiences such as breaking up because of the prediction that one might die is so relevant even in Indian culture as well. Obviously youngsters do not follow it that much, but the similarities among the south asian and southeast asian countries is so striking. I think that Indian weddings are full of colors. We are not restricted to certain colors such as white dress. We get to experiment a lot like crazy! Indian wedding is like a festival, even the small scale ones that don't make to tik tok or Instagram.

I'm actually so happy he now feels the confidence to show himself, there was a time that even this would be too much for him

You guys are the absolute cutest.

Wow I love the podcast so much ❤❤ Thank you for making this! Can’t wait to see another episode of you two ❤️

the conversation about the wedding being postponed because of superstition was so awesome i love how german bf was immediately like “oh two days no problem” while uyen is like “nooo my day would be ruined”. i am just excited for german bf to be german husband ❤️ you two are so lovely together

i just realized this came out 2 mins ago lol can't wait

I’m so happy about this podcast! You two are so fun together, and I love hearing more from GB

Honestly, love this. So cute. Cant wait for more episodes!

I am so genuinely happy you two started doing the podcast I enjoy your videos on a daily basis! Thank you both for your time and effort

OMG! You had me at 0:01 ... I love this already

You two are absolutely smashing. Uyen is fantastisch and GB always makes me chuckle too! They like each other so much. It's all so nice :) Viel gluck!!!!!

love this so much!! i’m excited for more episodes 🫶🏽

omggg i’m glad i’ve found your channel in time for the start of this journey❤😌

I love this format! And this topic is so fun ❤

I absolutely love the two of you. You make me believe in true love. Both of you are absolutely adorable together ❤

I was not expecting Uyen to say "dressed to the nines". That is such a British expression! I loved this podcast ❤️

My relationship was with a Vietnamese guy from Vancouver, and ill forever miss him and his mom. Sadly i dont think things were meant to be with us, but it is a great memory and im grateful for it happening

I really like this podcast, it's a feel-good listen. Just like your videos, they're a feel-good watch and I get to learn stuff about Germany and Vietnam culture. I look forward to more episodes 🥰

His job and hobbies make so much sense from the tiny things I've seen he owns :)

Uyen's joy hearing about cultures similar to her own is so adorable ❤

I love how comfy, cozy and laid back the set up is!

This is an exciting podcast!!! Can't wait to see more from both of you. Congrats on the new adventure! :)

Hello, I'm from the UK for specifically, suffolk which is a county in England. I have a few international mates, the thing that strikes me the most when speaking to them is how different our education systems are. In the UK we have three main stages of education, primary school, high school and then sixth-form/college. Primary school is from the gates of 3 (typically, stating with nursery) to 10/11, high school is from 10/11 to 16 and then sixthform is from 16 - 18, and with college it depends on what course you're doing. However you would still start at 16 (for the majority of people). The thing that strikes me as being massively different is exams and grades. I'm the uk we have SETs which are based on a students ability, school years (based on age) are divided into these SETs. You can move up and down SETs, however you can not pass/fail a year. In fact your teachers have bo power over your final grade. As exams are marked externally by exam boards, additionally I understand that in many countries you take tests throught the year, and these tests will determine your final grade. However, in the UK if you're in high school you'll study a set of subjects (GCSEs) for 2/3 years and then you'll have multiple exams in each subject at the end of those 2/3 years. You can fail these subjects, you'll need a grade 4 to pass. So basically you have one shot at passing or failing, and if you want to retake the exam then you'll have to pay. It's a similar situation for Alevels (taken at 18). I understand that this is a lot and I do apologise, however it would be interesting to learn how exams and grades are done in Germany and Vietnam. Thank you for reading this, :))

This podcast is about intercultural relationships 😅

Your voices are really soothing and just such a perfect fit for a podcast! I’m glad you started it, I enjoyed this issue so much. Good luck with it!!

Singaporean Chinese here! My family is Buddhist/agnostic while my husband’s family is Catholic. Even though we’re both Singaporean Chinese there was already some differences in wedding practices. Like choosing an auspicious timing/date and having an engagement ceremony (guo da li) was really important to my family. While for his family it is important that we get married in a church. Planning a wedding can be stressful and it will have some clashes or differing expectations among family elders, if there’s mutual respect, communication and compromise you both will be alright 😊 and don’t forget to enjoy the actual day!!!

So far I’m really enjoying it and it does also have to do with me always laughing at the very funny cartoon over German boyfriends face 😅. I also very much enjoy the aesthetics in general. This flat is STUNNING!

I love the mustard and spice gift idea!!! This was great, I look forward to more 🥰🥰

Im so happy for you two and your journey! Love the new podcast❤️

Loved it and can't wait for the next episode!! You're so chill and it's very calming to listen to you💖 Perfect for when I need to listen to something while working or doing some chores, haha

This was very enjoyable you guys! And for the haters dissing German Boyfriend for not wanting to show his face, DONT WATCH. Respect others wishes😊

I really like that you started this new podcast. Sometimes people think it's rare that cross cultural couple exists. But its not, it's quite normal. I am german and my husband is burundian. We are married soon 5 years.

Fish sauce table!! 😂😂😂This has to be the best podcast I’ve heard and watched so far! Wishing you both a fun time wedding planning!

Yay! So excited for this! Thank-you

It was a very cute podcast! English is a foreign language for me, but your pace and pronunciation made listening super comfortable. Thank you, I'm waiting for the upcoming episode

Sounds like family & friendship are top priority in Vietnam! ❤

Uyen is such a cute sincere human being I love her a lot I would love a friend like her 🥰

This is literally the first and only podcast I've ever watched, most importantly the only one I care to tune into. I often joke that equipment should be more expensive because everyone and their mom has a boring podcast these days... but this is a fun new take on the concept with two people that make me smile. This is the podcast the internet needed to heal tbh, wholesome, informational, and fun!

I love this idea! Ill stay tuned for more episodes. :) I'm American, married a german man 12 years ago ❤ although I think american and german culture is not that different, it can be funny at times. Love your videos Uyen!

Just a recommendation, if you continue to post this podcast on YT, it would be really cool to provide on screen captions. The auto captions that YT provides aren't very accurate. Ik it would be a lot more editing work, but with on screen captions your videos would be much more accessible. Love you❤❤❤❤

I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH, I'm getting in the couch to watch this, so feel like I'm with you! Haha 😭❤

I love this! I really appreciate how you respect your boyfriend's privacy while also including him in the videos and I'm super excited about the podcast! This is so AWESOME!

My husband is from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’m Canadian 🇨🇦. The two countries are quite similar but there are definitely a lot of differences too. The most interesting to me is the different foods (which is why I love watching your food videos!!), and the different words or phrases used to call things. We’ve been married 33 years. I think the most important thing is to be understanding of each other’s differences. I have a friend who is Canadian and her husband is from Indonesia. They have been together 37 years - but sadly the husband’s family refuses to accept the White wife. His family in Indonesia refuse to accept their children as well. When the wife and children are around, they are ignored or insulted by his family members.

@@ekaterini2957 - my white friend has actually helped support the Indonesian parents - bringing them to Canada 🇨🇦 and providing money to live on. Still they refuse to talk to her, make fun of her children, and tell her husband that he needs a proper Chinese wife to cook for him and the care of him. It’s so sad because they really are a happy couple and obviously get along as they’ve been together for 37 years.

​@@lostcontrol1981 no no no😥 if her husband were really love her, he would stop his family. Why he get married if he is not any power to be a real husband. AND SHE SPEND HER MONEY FOR THEM. Well, how can a loving husband waste her wife's hardwork on ppl who make fun of their children. Like what??? I cannot 😢 and his family is soo shameless.. like she did everything for them. And how a man let anyone to look down on his children. And how can a married man let his family to speaking about other women to marry?? He doesn't deserve this lovely lady...

Its the LOTR blanket for me XD, bring that to sit on both your laps to up the cuddle vibes. super cozy

Love it! i've been waiting for this😂

I love this podcast. Can't wait to listen the next one! Uyen's voice is very cute and the fiancé is calming.

26:27 I'm from Nordrhein-Westfalen, which is the west side side of Germany and my uncle did this on his wedding too aswell as I saw pics of my grandparents getting married who did this too, aswell as my grandparents repeated it when celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, so maybe it was more common in the past and is now out of style, IDK
