dstarsboy Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I take it you're in Beijing right now? Go for it, man! I haven't thought of how I would ask my wife, I think I would basically just get down on one knee and pull out the right and hold it up to her and try not to ruin the mood with my god-awful Mandain. I don't think much more needs to be said, unless this method of proposing is not correct for Chinese culture!? Link to comment

FuManChu Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Personally I used.. Bao Bei, Wo Ai Ni! Ni Yuan Yi Jia Gei Wo Yi Sheng Yi Shi Ma? Translation: Dearest(precious) I love you. Will you marry me for my whole life. Yes, I know there are a more eloquent ways to say it, but hey, it worked for me! Link to comment

No words were actually every spoken...195783[/snapback]Agree. In fact I never got a direct answer until in the Taxie on the way for marriage registration (which is marriege over there, legally). And my wife speaks pretty good English. Since her sisiter told her that maybe I don't understand the customs and she should explain, she then did. She told me sometimes a girl wants something but will not speak. So I went and got certified single at the US Embassy where we really got beat up by Stone Face, who said she would not do it, then did, uhhh. Then in the Taxie, the next day, I explained to her that in America a man asks and the girl answers yes or no. So here we are obviously heading off to get married. We both KNOW. But she never said. So finally she grins and takes a big breath and says Yes Yes Yes. And it was one of those ugly little red taxies at that. Not even a good one. Moral of the story? Why ask, just do!!!
