RE: The Rules of Getting Married in China
I really find all that fascinating. To just look at wedding culture and how it differs from place like here in the U.S. where I'm at is so interesting. I didn't know those customs before. I went to grad school with a guy from Nepal. He was excited to graduate so he could go back to Nepal where his parents would arrange a marriage for him. He told me the most interesting stuff about arranged marriages and how supportive of them he was.
Wow, he was excited for an arranged marriage. Crazy. But hey if was looking forward to i hope his potential wife was also excited about it.
Would u want an arranged marriage? Its not completely uncommon in China, whats more common though is the parents having the final say of their child marries their person they are with.
Great post! I listened to a pod cast not too long ago regarding arranged marriage studies and much to my surprise, many who were in arranged marriages were generally happier due to not spending their thoughts on all the other fish in the sea. I am SO grateful i get to choose my partner, but I do find it very interesting.
