Dear Waled, Thank you for helping my interview last week, I appreciated it very much. And I am so glad to know that you will come to China next month for your Chinese friend’s wedding ceremony, I am pretty sure it will be an unforgettable experience to you. However, as the saying goes, ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’, knowing something about Chinese wedding custom in advance must be helpful to you. I dare say wedding custom in China is quite different from that in your country…

…

Wish you all the best! Yours sincerely Mali 【Feedback】
