In many cases, entrance into the host country equals entrance into marital life.
Young males and females who find themselves in Canada meet their future companions
during work, in family meetings, in places of entertainment, or, following the
process of arranged marriage, they invite women and men from Greece, thus rendering
wedlock a means of entrance into Canada. Wedding photos or photos exchanged
between women and men reflect at the same time the wedding practices, social
values and gender standards in the country of origin and the host country, and
narrate the way in which they are interwoven and reconfigured through and because
of immigration mobility. On the other hand, these stories shed light upon the
matter of parental relations and the re-evaluation of roles within the family.
