Usually people walk the dog every day and the dog may cause accident like bite some people or something. But, having a dog certificate can show that you can obey the rule. You don’t need to bring the dog to the police station, you need to go to the vet to get the check-up and then bring it to the police.

There are many kind of weddings in China, most people prefer the Chinese traditional one where there are many tables in a big hall. The bride needs to wear 3 sets: the first 2 is western style and the last one is Chinese style. I think for most young people, they don’t really know what kind of wedding they want, most of weddings are prepared by their parents. For older parents, holding a wedding is like 手回红包.

I had two weddings: one is in my husband’s city, it was prepared by my in-laws. Other one is in SH, my husband prepared it – all the things. In SH we even didn’t even invite my parents or his parents. All the guests are all friends and colleagues. For the first one in my husband’s city is very traditional, we did all the things. I had three wedding dress. First in that city, I stayed in hotel before my wedding so in the morning my husband, pick me up. After that, we are going to the hotel for our wedding and at that time, I was wearing the main wedding dress.
