| Note: I saw this in a Chinese forum and translated into English. I am wondering if you guys attend any Chinese wedding ceremonies. Usually, the wedding ceremonies are held in the restaurants or hotels. In some rural areas, they are held in the groom’s house. No matter where the ceremony is held, the groom and the bride’s families, relatives and friends are definitely invited. On the wedding day, the groom has to go to the bride’s house to pick up the bride first. But he has to go through a series of challenges before being allowed to pick up the bride. However, please remember not to do anything unbearable to the groom. Better not learn from these two brides. No.1 The groom went to the bride’s house to pick his bride. However, the bride’s families didn’t let him in unless he barked like a dog. Eventually, he barked but the bride’s families broke their promise and still didn’t allow him to pick up the girl. Then the groom was angry and got back home. An hour later, the bride’s families called the groom’s father to see if the wedding was still going to be held. The groom’s father said the wedding was cancelled and the groom decided to divorce. No.2 During the wedding ceremony, the groom’s father knelt down toward the bride to ask her to marry his son. After seeing this, the groom was very angry and decided to divorce no matter who came to persuade him. At last, they divorced. The girl had tried many times to look for her Mr. Right but no one seemed to be interested in her. Well, if you were put in the situation above, would you marry the bride? |

| A sense of humour is very important in a relationship. If a couple do not share a similar sense of humour then there will be trouble ahead. Love should conquer all. I guess these grooms did not love enough, if at all. If they were unable to leap the first hurdle their marriage would not have lasted. |

| Well, if I were the groom, I would divorce too. Men have self-esteem and dignity. That man who barked like a dog gave up his dignity to please the bride's families but they just humiliated him and still refused him to get in. He might be hurt deeply. As for the second groom, I applause for him. That bride was very stupid and she deserved divorce. How dare she let her father-in-law to kneel down? According to ancient Chinese marriage custom, she should kowtow toward her father-in-law. Do you know why no one wanted to marry her? Men don't want to marry a girl who has no respect to his father. |

| So it seems that in a Chinese marriage "love" doesn't enter into the equation. |

That bride who asked for a LCD TV was really stupid. She ruined her wedding and lost her love finally. Was it worthy? By the way, their love was too fragile. If they really love each other, they wouldn't care about this too much. As for the girl who forced her father-in-law to kneel down toward her, she must suffer from mental disorder and really needs to see a doctor. Who does she think she is? |

Getting married is the most important thing. On this occasion, they must be very formal. Barking like a dog is really a bad idea. Well, you might ask him to do this at home. But don't ask him to bark in public because face is very important. The groom who barked like a dog cancelled the wedding felt that he lost his face and was humiliated. |

| I don’t agree with the “Chinese people are lack of humour genes. They are reserved and very formal.” either. In fact, I’ve found the complete opposite. Dodger. |

| I also do not agree that Chinese lack humour. My (Chinese) wife has a great and very mischievous sense of humour, which is why we make a great couple and never fight. If you can laugh about problems, life is far easier. She also is not materialistic. Love and happiness are far more important to her than an LCD TV. She wont even let me replace her ancient pc because it still works. |
