Chinese Family Etiquette

JimB:
On my second "date" with my lady the older brother was invited to dinner.  Once i met him and he approved of me things went a lot smoother.  She has since told me that older brother is the head of the family since her father passed.  And his blessing is needed but not mandatory.  Mama's blessing is still the most important. If she opposes your marriage you are probably done. If she says yes.  You are probably golden.

Paul Todd:
Thanks guy's
Just got off the web cam with my lady. It was her younger sister's son's birthday 8 years old and everyone was there, having a party, hats,cake the works.They all came on one by one and greetings were exchanged,big smiles all round. Even the young lad had his turn, I sang happy birthday to him, and he seemed delighted by it. They all gave us their blessing's and wished us well. My lady was just beaming with happiness. What a sight. They were all so welcoming. I should explain here that I was orphaned at a young age and never really had a family after that, so it's all a bit overwhelming. Arnold, just like you said, I now have a family. I'm blissed out. Thanks for all your advice guy's. :D
