[quote=NOBODY,421775]For me it was something new that the groom have to "buy" his wife... and for this that the wife stays then with the parents of the groom... Its no wonder that chinese mostly want boys... its easier to take care of the parents then the girl. (the girl will be added to the "family book" of the man, but not the man to the one of the bride) I everytime fold up my quilts (but not as in the picture) so this had been pretty normal to me.. But else... not much. I knew a few things about China before already and had everytime somebody with me to remind me what the tradition is ^^ The only time i felt a bit strange was when i had been out together eating dinner with my girl, her parents and some friends of her parents... the friends paid, we thanked them and then her parents got unhappy because we didnt invite them within one week... I dont know if its custom to invite them back within a week or 3-4 days... but where i come from its more like: One time you pay, one time i.... [/quote]
