New Reality Series Highlights Growing Social Trend of Mixed-Union Marriages
Now casting Are you about to get engaged? Married? And do you come from different cultural, religious or socio-economic backgrounds? And how will you navigate bringing your families together? We want to hear your stories!
(firmenpresse) - EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/17/13 -- For interfaith, cross-cultural and multi-ethnic couples in love, wedding planning requires compromise with virtually every decision: How will the ceremony honour our family traditions? Where will it be held? Will God be mentioned - and if so, whose? And will there be any objections or challenges from the extended families?
Such are the questions tackled by a new Canadian reality series, which looks at the trials and tribulations, the highs, the lows, the creative concessions around sensitive issues, and, of course, the romance of couples with undeniable differences - cultural, ethnic or socio-economic backgrounds - who plan to marry. The series, currently in development by , highlights a growing social trend in Canada: mixed-union marriages.
Mandy Quon, a 29 year-old Chinese born Canadian, and Ajit Nakhwa, a 33 year-old Hindu East Indian, are among Canada's growing number of multicultural couples.
The Edmonton lovebirds, who will tie the knot in August, knew right away that it would be a challenge to plan a spiritually and culturally balanced wedding.
"Our families are very different in just about every way. Wedding traditions, religious practices, beliefs about family involvement, how they spend and save money," said Quon. "At the end of the day, we know both cultures value family...and food! As long as there's enough to eat, cocktails are flowing, the music is good and my mom doesn't accidently eat anything spicy, it will be a wonderful and memorable celebration."
suggests that the number of romantic pairings between individuals of different ethnic backgrounds is exponentially over the coming years. In less than two decades, over 70 percent of Canadians living in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver will be from a visible minority or racialized group.
"Two cultures, one party, equals tons of creative opportunities for the wedding! Everything from the colour choices, location, ceremonies and vows - couples can incorporate cherished cultural traditions and, at the same time, include their own unique preferences," says , a wedding planner who has observed an increase in the number of fusion weddings over the last few years.
dynamic, fun and interesting couples who are madly in love and want to share their inspiring stories on television.
