My Sino-German wedding anniversary

One weekend in May last year, I was about to go out when Martin stopped me.

Someone asked me where I was going, and I told him I was going to visit the city.

He said to me in a hurry, then wait for me and I'll go.

I looked at him strangely and said, "Don't you hate shopping?" Why do you want to go with me? "

"Oh, I went out to see the ring."

My heart thumped and asked, "You mean, you want to see the ring and propose to me?"

Martin looked at me naturally and said, "Yes, aren't you going back to China next month?" I want to propose to you before you go back to China. "

I was flattered by his words, but I couldn't help saying, "Go and look at the ring. Why did you tell me? " Won't you surprise me? "

I pretended to be angry and said to him, "Then go to the street and see the ring yourself. I don't want to know what ring you bought. "

"good"

A few days later ...

"How about the ring?" I was eating, pretending to ask Martin casually.

"Not yet"

"If you buy a ring, don't buy it too expensive. I don't like jewelry at ordinary times. If you buy too much, I won't wear it. "

"How much do you want?" The real German asked.

I looked up at Martin's innocent face and said, "It's better not to exceed 200 euros."

So far, I already know that Martin is going to propose to me, and I also know the price of the ring.

One of the biggest surprises of my life:

No surprises when proposing.

A week before returning to China, Martin said to me, "Baby, the ring I like is not your size. Your fingers are too small. The store has to order in Italy, and it won't be ready until August at the earliest. I can't propose to you before you return to China. "

I had some expectations for the proposal before returning to China, but I was lost at once.

I pretended to be indifferent and said, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

A few days before returning home, Martin and I walked hand in hand on a quiet path near our home.

It was a sunny afternoon, walking on the path, and birdsong came from time to time.

Many unknown wild flowers are in full bloom by the roadside.

I stopped at the side of the road, attracted by a purple wild flower, and broke free from Martin's hand to shoot that gorgeous wild flower.

When shooting, I said to Martin standing behind me, "Look, how beautiful the flowers are now."

After that, I turned around and wanted to show him the photos I took.

Who knows, Martin stood behind me quietly and affectionately, holding a velvet ring box with a ring in it, and I was shocked.

"Baby, will you marry me?"

I pinched my mouth, held back my smile, didn't answer, and pretended to be angry and said, "You can't buy a ring, can you?"

"Don't you want a surprise?"

.......

"Then you said you would?"

I didn't say anything. I hope Martin will get down on one knee and propose to me.

He seemed to understand what I meant and said, "I won't kneel."

I am really a very romantic and confused man.

I held out my left hand and said, I do.

Martin, help me put on the ring.

This is my unromantic proposal.

German wedding anniversary

As we intend to settle down in Germany after marriage, we intend to legally register in Germany and then go back to China for the wedding.

Looking back now, I still have a headache about the documents needed to register my marriage in Germany.

It took about four months from the beginning of sorting out the documents to all the documents being in good condition.

Marriage registration is a very pleasant thing, but on the day of registration, I was just relieved and not too excited.

It is almost impossible to get married in Germany.

In Germany, most people get married, only in the civil affairs bureau, holding a simple marriage registration ceremony.

There may only be more than twenty people present.

Even if a wedding is held, only a few dozen people will be present, which will not be as extravagant as China's wedding.

Due to the extended time to apply for the marriage certificate, the summer cheongsam I prepared for marriage registration can only be worn indoors in winter.

Our marriage registration ceremony was held at 9: 30 in the morning of a working day in the German Civil Affairs Bureau.

That morning, I simplified a light makeup, tied my hair, went to the flower shop to buy flowers myself, and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Martin.

You are not mistaken. Cosmetics and flowers are all your own.

I didn't know about my hair until I watched countless videos online.

About twenty people attended the wedding, mainly relatives and friends.

I am very happy that so many lovely friends from China came to the scene to give me their blessings when I registered my marriage in Germany.

I think if I marry a German, there will be no China people present.

Who knows, I am so lucky and really touched.

We completed the marriage registration ceremony in the presence of relatives and friends.

After the wedding, friends and relatives were invited to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast buffet.

In the traditional German wedding, the newlyweds will make a gift list, and the guests attending the wedding will choose according to the gift list and buy a gift for the newlyweds.

On the wedding day, guests can bring their own gifts and go to the wedding.

We have everything in life, so we are happy to tell our guests that everyone can come to the wedding.

Friends and relatives who can come to the wedding are absolutely true love for us.

Although we said we didn't need anything, all the guests who came to the wedding brought their own gifts.

Don't think that only we in China can do such "tacky" things as red envelopes. Many Germans do the same, okay?

I guess they really don't know what to give us.

Most people will give a small gift, bring a greeting card and spend some money in Cariga.

What interests me most is the process of opening gifts. Excitement and joy are hard to express in words.

After the breakfast buffet, my mother-in-law made us a wedding cake and went to her mother-in-law's house to eat the cake.

It's really cool to count those "tacky" euros while eating cakes and opening presents.

In the evening, I was really happy and returned to my husband's home with a lot of gifts and greeting cards.

I don't want to go out because I'm full all day and I'm too lazy to eat.

On that day, we ordered a pizza for our wedding dinner

This is the whole process of my wedding in Germany.

Chinese wedding

I think every girl will be eager for her husband and give herself a wedding full of surprises, right?

I am no exception.

However, Martin and I decided to go back to China for a Chinese wedding, which doomed me not to have a wedding full of surprises.

Martin knows nothing about wedding customs in China. Everything must be prepared by yourself, and the groom only needs to be responsible for one stop at the wedding scene.

One of the biggest reasons for wanting to be a bride when I was a child is that I like to eat a local food in Yulin: fried crispy meat!

Deep-fried crispy meat can only be eaten when I was a child at a wedding reception.

I longed to get married when I was very young, so that I could eat endless fried crispy meat at the wedding. It's perfect!

As we all know, the bride should not drink anything on the wedding day, and she doesn't want to eat too much.

Because! The clothes I wear are very heavy, and I don't want to drink water or eat at all.

It's really too much trouble to be afraid of going to the toilet.

It rained all night the day before the wedding.

I don't know, is it because God doesn't want me to marry so far away in Germany?

In the morning, it has been raining.

It was raining when the makeup artist came to my house after eight o'clock.

It's good to have a makeup artist to make up for yourself, and you can get married beautifully.

Put on your makeup. It's always noisy in the room.

At that time, before the groom came, everyone was just anxious to see the bride.

Everyone rushed to take a photo with the bride.

Suddenly, my mother appeared, and the photographer asked me to take a photo with my mother in front of the door.

"Mom, do your daughter's hair ..."

"Ah, yes, mother looked at her daughter affectionately ..."

"Mother's hand touched her daughter's shoulder ..."

The photographer's slogan has been echoing in my ears.

When he asked me to look at my mother, I dared not look at her, so I pretended to look at her.

Suddenly, I saw my mother's eyes filled with fog, and her wrinkled eyes.

My nose hurts and tears can't help flowing down.

"Yes, yes, that's it …" The photographer's voice kept ringing in my ears.

As soon as I cry, my mother can't control herself anymore.

As soon as she turned around, she walked to the corridor and didn't want to shoot any more.

At this time, my sister-in-law went over and stroked her mother's shoulder to comfort her.

"Oh, why did you make them cry?" My classmate is blaming the photographer.

"What's the matter? Let them have more feelings and take more photos in the future. "

The photographer said casually.

Or photographers have been doing weddings and filming for a long time and are used to this situation.

As we all know, my mother left her hometown because she was too sad, and I walked into the house.

It is a worry for a mother to watch her daughter get married, but it will also be full of sadness for her daughter.

At about eleven o'clock, the groom finally came.

When the groom arrives at the village, he must attend some customs and ceremonies.

In an instant, all the people who went to eat went to see the groom.

I was left alone in my boudoir for over an hour.

At that moment, I thought to myself, yes, yes, the groom looks better, and you all left me here.

When the groom came to pick up the bride, there was a lot of noise outside the door, and the room in his hometown was about to collapse.

Martin doesn't understand the wedding tradition in China, and I don't want to push him.

I didn't give him a hard time except to give him a red envelope at the door and shout "I love you".

However, when he entered the room, he saw two brides wearing He Xiu costumes and red headscarves.

I think, at that time, he should be very confused?

When I proposed this game, everyone thought it was too simple.

He Xiu's clothes I wear are very well made, while other He Xiu's clothes look rough.

Anyone will choose this wedding dress I am wearing.

I said, "Not necessarily. German eyes are different from ours. He doesn't necessarily think I'm beautiful. "

Sure enough, as I expected, when making a choice, Martin really chose the wrong one.

I can only shake my head at him. I know him too well.

When I went out, the rain stopped.

From the room to the ancestral temple, I only care about those high heels that are more than ten centimeters high.

Along the way, many people were very noisy. ...

I don't even have time to see where my mother is.

Because of the custom, I walked to the ancestral hall with the help of two relatives.

We held a ceremony in honor of the church.

I didn't see my mother when I went to church.

It was a mess around, except for my sister, who acted as an interpreter, and I was so busy that I didn't even see my brother.

On our wedding day, five German relatives came from Germany, and only my sister could be an interpreter.

When I got on the wedding car, I couldn't see my mother.

The photographer said, "Why can't I see my mother? Should she look at the window and take some photos? "

I was thinking that my mother might not want to see this parting scene and deliberately avoided it.

The car started and went forward for about thirty meters.

I looked out of the window and suddenly saw my brother standing by the side of the road with a sad expression on his face.

He wiped his eyes with his hand, looked at the wedding car and slowly passed in front of him.

I don't have time to talk to him, the car has already left.

Looking at my brother standing farther and farther away from me alone, suddenly a sadness climbed into my heart.

My mother's eyes are wrinkled, and the picture of my brother standing alone in the distance keeps flashing in my mind.

Tears suddenly rolled down from my eyes like soybeans.

I dare not cry loudly, so I can only cover my mouth with my hand and cry secretly.

Martin sitting next to me was at a loss. He didn't understand why I was crying.

He held my hand and looked at me quietly. His eyes asked me if I needed help. I can only shake my head at him.

I just feel sad, a kind of unknown faint sadness.

Getting married, for me, just chose another way of life.

It is impossible to be completely separated from one's home.

After graduating from college, I have been away from home and go home once or twice a year. For me, unmarried and married are actually the same, and there is no meaning of marrying a woman and splashing water.

Even if I get married, I'm still my mother's daughter and my brother's sister's sister.

Essentially, nothing will change.

I cried all the way from the ancestral temple to the hotel, and my false eyelashes fell off.

After arriving at the hotel, it began to rain again.

I had to put on my wedding dress and took a photo in the hotel.

Welcome begins at 5: 30 pm.

The next wedding itinerary is a domestic model.

Come in and propose a toast to the mothers.

Toast the guests.

Friends who are familiar with domestic weddings know that the wedding day is really tiring.

Tired and cramped.

Taking pictures, laughing till your face cramps.

This is my wedding anniversary in China.
