As with any friendship, the longer you are friends, the closer you become. I have officially made it "in" here...
My friend Jenny and I had hot pot on Saturday evening...and she asked me to be in her wedding!! Chinese weddings aren't like American weddings. They are becoming more and more Western like, but...still not the same. Most brides wear a red dress, but Jenny will have a white one. The brides rent dresses, and the guys buy the tuxes (actually kinda makes more sense that way...). Jenny's boyfriend wants to buy her one online. Most brides also don't have any bridesmaids. They usually celebrate by having a big banquet dinner...and the few I've been to, a little ceremony. Then the bride and groom circle the room making toasts to each table, and by the end of the night, they are swhasted! I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding, and I cannot even express how happy that makes me! :-) It is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience!!
