[quote=KLOH,447275]I'm Chinese, I hope I can explain and help you some. First, "bride price" depends on which places the bride is from. For example, I'm living in Zhejiang province (which is referred to be richer), the common price over here will be from "3000 to 100,000 RMB" (I didn't write it wrong, that is Three Thousand, and that is RMB.) But usually, like 50,000~60,000 RMB is fair. I hope this makes sense for you. 1.26 million RMB is ridiculous, I don't want to say something bad about your GF's family, but it seems that they just want to get a lot of money from you, they don't think for you at all. I understand what parents think, but I personally don't like "bride price". In your case, it seems her family only think for themselves. I'm confused. I don't understand why her family wants so much, I don't believe their "reasons" at all. I hope you can talk more with your GF and explain what you think. If she really loves who you are, she would try her best to convince her family. And remember to be sincere with her family. What parents most care about is if you can take care of their daughter. Maybe her parents are just trying to "test" if you love her and her family. I know you western guys hated to be tested, (my BF is the same). And maybe your GF never told you these things about Chinese culture, but this is the time you to learn more. I think True love is the key to a relationship. Don't worry too much, calm down and talk nicely to her and her family. Try to figure what they really want from you? Good luck! If you want to know more about Chinese culture, please feel free to ask more. I will come back to read your post soon. Hopefully you guys can make it through! [/quote]
