Getting Married in China

About

Getting married in China? We heard about your weekend trip to Hainan and thought it sounded too good

to be true. So we're sure it's a done deal in her mind. All you need to do now is just sum up the courage

and pop the question. And make sure you do it in mandarin: it's sweeter that way.

What's that? You don't know how to propose in Chinese? If you're planning on getting married in China,

this is the perfect lesson for you then. Join Echo and Brendan in this podcast as we walk through the

steps needed to sweep your sweetheart off her feet. And if you're not at the marrying stage yet don't

worry. We also coerced Echo into sharing some practical tips on impressing the girl of your dreams. Put

these tricks into action and with a bit of luck, you'll find yourself on the receiving end of a proposal.
