Different preparations for wedding and process between China and the UK

As we all know, Chinese people are traditional, even when one propose marriage, they will not say I love you, so if they want to marry, they need a third person-go between to negotiate with their family. Compared with Chinese people, British people are open- minded and they say many ‘I love you’

In China, the bridegroom- to-be is preparing a flat as their new home and buy a ring, a necklace, while the bride-to-be is preparing new furniture and maybe a car.

In GB, young people don’t demand too much. If they love each other ,they will live together and a ring tells people they are lovers. Sometimes, people just want to ask a partner.

Chinese people will hold their wedding ceremony in a restaurant while British people will hold their wedding ceremony in a church or a big hall.
