In the 7 years we have been together, both my husband and I have embraced each other's cultures. Even our families have as well. His family was happy he married me. Prior to me, his only 2 other serious relationships were with italian women and although the italian culture is similar to the latino cultures, they were relieved that he married a fellow latina. I have taught his family not only the foods from my country, but our customs as well. When my husband joined our family, he did the same. My family learned to enjoy the food and the dancing! lol...our wedding was very diverse and everyone enjoyed themselves. My husband has traveled to Mexico more than I have and has even learned to speak spanish w/a mexican accent! lol
The joke with our children is who is mexican and who is dominican...my 5 yr old says she is dominican because she does not like spicy food! lol..but its nice to teach your children their heritage and different customs.
