Guest ShaQuaNew Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Great story Frank.... I am thinking this may well be where we are heading too. I would enjoy having that sort of ceremony with Lan in China before she comes here.....RMB accessibility is the only issue... Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 We are K-1 and our Chinese ceremony is in a few days... on Sunday. His parents rented the entire floor of a restaurant. There will be about 130 people. I will wear 3 dresses- he will have 2 outfits. I'm told we won't have time to eat cuz we will be busy toasting everyone, but everyone else will eat. There will be an MC to keep us all entertained. There will be a photographer. That's all I know... I can update more after the wedding.149522[/snapback]sounds like you will be busier changing dresses. Have fun! Link to comment

awch Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 You can substitute water for the alcohol. His mom has already informed us that's what we'll be doing. Link to comment

tonado Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I bet some people will get married in US, have a wedding ceremony here, and then go back within a year to have a wedding ceremony in China. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 We discussed this, but she felt that if there was any chance of becoming pregnant, than she said , 'one doesn't' go back pregnant to have a ceremony... Link to comment
Mick Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Tell me, are there any Christian churchs readily available in China or are they all underground?149040[/snapback]Protestant Christianity is by far and away the fastest growing religion in China. The latest government statistics state that 1500 new churches open each month in China. There are basically three types of Protestant Churches in China. The most visible is the "Three-Self Patriotic Movement." It is the officially sanctioned church and in many cities there are numerous church buildings. In the area where I lived the last 4 years I was in China, there were 14 church buildings, all packed to the rafters. Secondly, there are house churches that are registered with the government. These groups meet in houses and are legal. Third, there are unregistered house churches. These are also flourishing and growing in number. However, they are illegal and it is these churches that are usually persecuted. As for weddings, I am not sure how various church bodies might handle this. I suspect, like many things in China, it would vary, depending on where you are. Link to comment
awch Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Not sure how it works or what kind of church it is... but there's a church right across the street from my school. People often have weddings there. Link to comment
