    A Belarusian woman went on a trip to Georgia and married a Jew there.

    Many girls dream of marrying a foreigner. Of course, they dream of someone who is handsome, intelligent, caring, and wealthy. Once and for all. During the operation of the hotline, more than 5,000 calls were received regarding marriage with foreigners from 58 countries. Here are the top 10 countries most in demand among our citizens: Poland, Russia, Germany, Italy, Turkey, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and the USA closes the top ten. What happened to their lives afterwards remains off-screen. The heroine of our interview did not set out to marry a foreigner. Karina went to Georgia with one mission — to relax. And she fell in love. With Georgia, of course. She met her future husband later...

    An experienced adventurer

    It's hard to call the heroine of our story a settled person. Her hometown felt too cramped for her. Her non-standard striking appearance did not fit into the standards of Belarusian culture. Her temperament didn't either. This girl can hardly be called "calm". Rather, she's a rebel with the soul of a dreamer. Like any girl, Karina dreamed of meeting the one who would capture her heart and tame her spirit.

    Tamer after tamer lined up, but the girl's heart did not give in. Until the fall of 2018. Together with her friend, the girl went on a spontaneous trip to Georgia. It was a happy carefree time that Karina recalls with trepidation:

    - How did your Georgia begin?

    - I rented an apartment in the center of Tbilisi. I walked around the city a lot. Absolutely aimlessly. I just gave myself time to worry about nothing: every morning I bought fresh local pastries. Being in Georgia and not enjoying the taste of khachapuri is a crime. In a short period of time, I managed to make new acquaintances. Georgian hospitality and delicious wine make people sociable. (laughs). I had less and less money, but I was determined that I wanted to stay here. My friend left, and I shared an apartment with another girl. One of her friends saw me on Instagram and wanted to meet me. And Anya introduced us.

    - When you went to Georgia, did you expect to meet your love?

    - When I had already arrived in Georgia, I felt that soon I would be head over heels in love. I really wanted that at the time. And it happened.

    - What was your first meeting like?

    - Vander (that's what my future husband's name was) won me over with his intelligence and ease. We were sitting in a restaurant, chatting, and already during our first conversation, I noticed how unconventional and modern this person's thinking was. What an active life position he has. It's very important for me that a man be intelligent, proactive, and flexible in his views. Vander turned out to be just like that. I wouldn't say that I immediately saw him as my future husband. I remember thinking about him: "Oh, God, what a playboy?". But I knew I would win him over. However, we didn't start dating right away, at first we just communicated.

    - When did you realize you were in love?

    - When I took a break. We didn't communicate for a while, and then we met, and I realized that I love this person. And we haven't been apart since. Soon after, Vander moved me and my things in with him, and a little later we had a wedding. Not a very traditional one. Vander simply presented me with a fait accompli when I would say "yes" to him. On February 14th, the day of lovers, I became pregnant. And in November, our Kim was born.

    - Kim?

    - The girl's full name is Kimberly.

    - Is your husband a purebred Georgian?

    - No, Vander is not Georgian. He is Jewish with Ukrainian roots. It's just that Georgia is convenient for doing business.

    - Did you encounter any difficulties with paperwork?

    - Yes, I had to fly to Belarus twice when once would have been enough. But unfortunately, I didn't know where to go to get consulted on this matter in advance.

    - Do you plan to stay in Georgia?

    - I'm not the kind of person who gets attached to one place. My home is planet Earth. And where will I be tomorrow? God only knows. In this matter, I fully agree with my husband. He also doesn't like to get attached to one place of residence.

    Every girl deserves her own lottery ticket for a happy marriage. Confident dreamers win such a ticket.

    If you're also planning to marry a foreigner, don't forget to consult with the specialists of the "hotline" for safe departure and stay abroad of the NGO "Club of Business Women".

    Hotline specialists won't tell you a beautiful love story, but they will definitely help you understand the issues of getting married to foreign citizens, tell you the list of documents and how to properly legalize them for marriage registration.

    NOTE:

    Still, when leaving for abroad, it is important to understand that chasing a dream is not always justified. This is discussed in the previously published materials on our website:
