All About China > Your trip to China
Leap of faith to Shanghai!
Willy The Londoner:
How many on here actually went through the 'Traditional Wedding Ceremony' as shown on the previous post.
We did not - it was a trip to the marriage office with her adult children. And that was it. My wife was practical on this. The money saved would be money towards the home we now bought here.
A taxi ride a few packs of cigarettes and candy for the security and office staff and lunch in Changsha for 5. Job done!

We planned to get married in Chengdu on June 8th (my birthday) so on June 4 we grabbed a carton of cigs and a big bag of sweets( to grease the wheels) and trolled off to the local Marriage Office just to check and make sure we had all the correct paperwork (you know how anal they get over this stuff)...15 mins later we were looking at each other on the sidewalk, clutching our red-books with a distinct feeling of disbelief and couldn't quite believe we had just got married....
But we did have a big wedding dinner bash on the next Saturday.

To your very real post about marrying a Chinese woman, I must add that they are the most nosey people on the Planet....they need to know EVEYTHING about EVERYONE.
I have lived at my current address for 12 years and I thought I knew all the important stuff about my neighbors...you know, stuff like "what the guys do for a living, what motor does he drive, how much beer can he drink in an afternoon, and how he likes his steaks cooked...along with a reasonable estimate of their wives' bra size "...what more would you want to know about your neighbors ??
After a little over 18 months, I swear that Ming knows every micro detail about each of their lives from the moment they were born !!!...and I cant figure out for the life of me how she has managed to extract that much info...its not like we see them every day...must be a particular Chinese Women skill !!!!
