Rona Nitaa month agoWe got married a few months ago after being together for two years, and we had a small, intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends—honestly, it was the wedding of my dreams. I still can’t believe I got to have the wedding I’ve always imagined. He’s the sweetest guy I’ve ever known, and while this might sound cheesy (especially since we’re still in the honeymoon phase), I’m so grateful for all the sacrifices he’s made for me. We come from different nationalities, and I’m in the process of finalizing my visa to be with him. No matter how busy he gets with work, whenever I needed to go to the immigration office, he’d always take the day off to come with me. He even resigned from his job just to marry me. My mom wasn’t fully supportive of our relationship and wanted us to follow some traditions before we got married. To respect that, he stayed in my country for three months, helping me celebrate my family’s traditions, assist with my visa application, and finalize all the documents. Now that he’s job hunting again, he’s factoring in my immigration process to ensure he finds a job that will also allow him to be there with me during my interviews and until my visa is finalized. Some people don’t understand and think his career move is a bad choice, but the way he prioritizes me and how stressed I am over the immigration process moves me deeply. He’s constantly defending me against anyone who’s even slightly racist toward me, explaining how beautiful and misunderstood my culture is. He tells them that every country has both good and bad aspects, and we shouldn’t generalize. He makes me feel so loved, respected, and supported. I know people may not understand his decisions, but I am incredibly grateful for everything he does for me, and I love him more than words can express.134
