So here is my update on my first Xmas with my Bikers family. I was also meeting them for the first time.
So He went on 19th and I flew in on 24th and he picked me up from the airport and we had to drive 2.5 hrs to his house. His parents live in a really small town and a cute house with lots of privacy. My flight was late and I had almost spent 11 hrs in airport+ flight. We stayed in a hotel near his parents and I was very tensed next day when it was time to go and actually meet everyone. I changed dress like 3 times. He told me they are all very casual so I chose a very casual T shirt and jeans and I had a framed pic of both of us to give his mom. His nephews ( who just got a new vedio camera) were waiting at the doorstep with a vedio ( gosh that really made my head spin)!!! I had to walk in inspite of the vedio !! lol. I hugged his mom and handed over the pic. Later I saw she was talking to him inside and I went and she was tearing up because I called her "mom".. she was touched coz non of her daugher in laws call her that way. But that is how I felt as she was quiet older and I didnt wnat to call her name.
She and his dad and everyone seemed to like me. We all opened Xmas presents and one of his brothers seemed quiet but Biker told me that is how he is and I cooked one time and biker helped me every inch through it and everyone loved it.
I got presents from his parents and all siblings. His mom and dad talked so much and they seemed to have really enjoyed my presence.
We talked a lot and I loved the quietness of that area and then on 26th we drove to his sisters place that is near the airport and we flew back togetehr on 27th morning.We even go seats together.
It was great overall. I told his mom how difficult it was to get him to date and she told she always knew if he was with some one they had to be agressive considering how shy he is. They all commented on how happy and lively he is now. He was very romantic and hugging me and very attentive through out.
So things seem great in spite of the cultural difference and everything. They seemed to have genuinely liked me and I definitely enjoyed. It was much less stressfull that meeting my own parents!!
I still am not sure how fast or slow we will proceed but definitely I feel much assured and confident about us. I got to saw a side of him I have not seen and I love him more.
He was so happy that I went and told atleast 10 times "I cant belive you are actually here"..lol.. I didnt know it meant so much to him.

Thanks for sharing about your visit. His family sounds great and welcoming. I wish you and him the best.

Im glad it all worked out so well for both of you! Sounds like he has a warm, welcoming family! Can i ask what the "cultural differences" were you mentioned? religion? race? Just wondering ...
Hi Rebecca, Yes we have different religion and race. I am an Asian and came to US for work and never in my dreams expected to marry someone here (in fact I was planning to go back in a year or two- now seems like I will be here for long time!) and he is caucasian and has never been to an Asian country. Religion doesnt seem to be
Emma, Thanks. Yes it was just right amount of time. 2 days almost. I was just thinking about that.. although I really felt like I wanted to be there for atleast 2 more days..It was warm Texas and we are here in the cold.
Oh wow - I am so glad you went!! And what a warm and wonderful story. Now you have built a nice memory with him.
Keep us posted!! :-)
Sounds like you had a wonderful time and it was just the perfect meeting on all sides.
