He believes that a girl of his own nationality will share his values and honour the same customs as he does.

And it seems his choice agrees with him as she flings her arms around him and assures him that she will, indeed, marry him. After winning her parent’s approval, the happy couple plan their modest wedding, and afterward, they leave for a three-day honeymoon. Upon their return, Novak flies back to Canada, promising Lily that he will start the immigration process immediately. After Lily is in Canada, the young couple set out to make their life together.
