Life Plan I am happy I had taken my wedding photographs this month. It cost only RMB3100. Do you think it is cheaper or expensive? I even only spent RMB10 for three artistic photos in 2008, really cheap, but the effect is not good as this time. Our marriage registration is planned in next year. After then I will no longer be single. According to our custom. I cannot go to my parental home for the Chinese New Year, only after lunar calendar January 2nd, can I go to see my own parents. I feel a little upset for this custom. But we cannot break the rule: Do in Rome as Romans do. I should get used to it. Wish myself a happy marriage.

Life Plan

I am happy I had taken my wedding photographs taken <em>(passive voice)</em> this month.
It cost only RMB3100. Do you think it is cheaper or expensive? <em>(not cheap, about par)</em>
I even only spent RMB10 for three artistic photos in 2008, really cheap, <em>(wah! indeed)</em> 
but the effect result is not anywhere near as good as it is this time.
Our marriage registration is planned in for next year.
After then I will no longer be single <em>(of course)</em>.

<em>Let's put in a paragraph!</em>

<em>
</em>

According to our custom<em></em><em> (does this refer to the previous sentence or the following sentence?)</em>.  

I cannot go to my parental home for the Chinese New Year - 

only after lunar calendar January 2nd can I go to see my own parents. <em>(WHY? OK I see it refers to the visit home)</em>
I feel a little upset for about this custom, but we cannot break the rule: Do When in Rome as Romans do.
I should get used to it.
Wish myself I hope for a happy marriage.

Dear Ruthi, you are right. Marriage need both parties' effort to maintain. Thanks for your good wishes.

Congratulations Christine but I can tell you that I have been happily married for 30 years (next week!) and I hardly looked at my photos or the wedding video after the wedding.IT's more important that you love and cherish each other and have a happy live together.The wedding is not the end of something it's just the beginning of your new life.THe day of the wedding is fun but it's not real life together.I think weddings are really for other people not for yourself. Good luck !
