Philip,
In anyone's terms, that is a lot of money, even 20000 is a lot of money for a wedding in China. I think you should best ask for a breakdown of the costs from her, maybe somewhere along the line, the figures have have got confused.....
I don't know what sort of age you are or your lady in China. Obviously if she is a younger lady and never been married, the wedding costs are going to be a little more expensive, than that of a previously married lady. But it still isn't going to cost anywhere resembling that figure she has told you....and that's for SURE!!
One thing that does spring to mind, ....if she IS young single lady, and that is, ...she is including a dowry to her parents in that enormous figure you quoted. If that is the case then you need to get that sorted out as soon as possible Philip. Maybe her parents are trying it on and being greedy, because your a foreign man.
You won't know anything until you get a breakdown of this 200000RMB that she's quoting you....
David......

Dave (5o) there is a sentence in there that says what she is. "especially as I am saving for her and her two children to come to England." So we're not talking of a "young single lady".
But it all sounds like some math mistakes have happen.
Irishman:
These figures terrify me!
My lady is young and not married before...200K RMB is my house deposit gone in one swoop and a couple of years savings.
I would write down the number too make 100% clear that you have the figure right. if its still the same its time to start explaining in as kind and understanding way as possible that this is far far too much. A western wedding here wouldn't cost that even with church, hotel reception, wedding dress etc., its insane!
Like Willy, I'd be asking, and how much of this are your parents paying?!
