Ukrainian parents are very protective over their children

If a Ukrainian woman has found a man she wants to marry, then her father will be quite strict and scan him carefully to assure he is good enough for her. They are just looking out for their daughter, as most fathers would do. If a Ukrainian woman has found a Western man to marry, then her father will worry even more as you are going to take his daughter away from her native home to your country.

To make a good first impression with the parents

Ukrainian parents just want to be certain their daughter will be safe and cared for. It is important for them to know this man will support their daughter even more than her own parents have. In the future, you may be the father of your own daughter and would want only the best for her. It is important to make a good first impression with the parents of your future wife.

Bring something her parents will definitely like
