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 anxiously, then wait for me, I'll go, too.

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

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

My heart thumped and I asked, "You mean, do 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 ...

"Is the ring nice?" I was eating, pretending to ask Martin casually.

"Not yet"

"If you buy a ring, don't buy it too expensive. I don't usually like to wear jewelry. If you buy it too expensive, 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:

There must be no surprises when proposing.

A week before returning to China, Martin told me, "Baby, the ring I like is not your size, your finger is too small. The store must be ordered in Italy, and it will not be ready until August at the earliest. I can't propose to you until you return to China. "

I was expecting to propose marriage before I returned to China, but suddenly I lost it.

I pretended not to care and said, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

A few days before going 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 birds sang from time to time.

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

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

When shooting, I said to Martin standing behind me, "Look, how beautiful this flower is now."

After that, I turned around 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?"

.......

"Do you think you will?"

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'm really romantic and confused.

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 until all the documents were in good condition.

Marriage registration is a very pleasant thing, but on the day of registration, I just breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have much excitement.

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 attend, which will not be as luxurious as China's wedding.

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

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

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

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

I learned this hairstyle by watching countless videos online.

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

I'm glad that so many lovely friends from China came to the scene to give me their wishes when I registered my marriage in Germany.

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

Who knows? I'm so lucky. I'm 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 list of gifts, and the guests attending the wedding will choose from the list of gifts and buy a gift for the newlyweds.

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

Nothing is lacking in our life, so we are very 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 we are the only "tacky" things in China that can give out 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 add some money to the card.

I am most interested in 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 then 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 to go back to my home with my husband, which was full of gifts and greeting cards.

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

We ordered a pizza for our wedding dinner that day.

This is the whole process of my wedding in Germany.

Chinese wedding

I think every girl will be eager for her husband to give her 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. I have to prepare everything myself, and the groom only needs to take charge of one stop at the wedding scene.

When I was a child, one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to be a bride was that I liked 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.

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

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

Because! The clothes I wear are so heavy that 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.

The day before the wedding, it rained all night.

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

In the morning, it kept raining.

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

It's nice to have a makeup artist make up for yourself and get married beautifully.

Make-up, the room is always noisy.

At that time, before the groom came, everyone was only eager to see the bride.

Everyone rushed to take pictures 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 ..."

"Hey, 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 was afraid to look at her, so I just pretended to look at her.

Suddenly, I saw my mother's eyes filled with fog, and her eyes were covered with wrinkles.

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

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

When I cry, my mother can't control herself anymore.

As soon as she turned around, she walked to the edge of the corridor and didn't want to take any more pictures.

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 classmates are 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 shooting for a long time, and they are used to this situation.

As we all know, my mother left her hometown because she was too sad, and I walked through that door.

Let the mother watch her daughter get married, which is a kind of worry, 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 stayed alone in my boudoir for over an hour.

At that moment, my heart thought, 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 know the wedding tradition in China, and I don't want to force 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's clothes and red headscarves.

I think he was confused at that time, right?

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 really know him too well.

The rain stopped when I went out.

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 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, who was so busy that even my brother disappeared.

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

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

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 alone on the side of the road with a sad expression on his face.

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

I don't have time to talk to him, the bus has already passed.

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

I can't stop thinking of my mother with wrinkles around her eyes and my brother standing alone in the distance.

Tears suddenly rolled down 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 are asking me if I need 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 your home.

After graduating from college, I will go out 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 am still the daughter of my mother and the sister of my brother and sister.

Essentially, nothing will change.

I cried all the way from the ancestral hall 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.

The welcome meeting will begin 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 crowded.

Taking pictures, laughing till your face cramps.

This is my wedding anniversary in China.
