We've been married for about 3 busy weeks now, and it's very nice.  We're both very happy! (most of the time-nothing can be perfect for every minute of every day!).  Today, with Summer's excellent help we finally managed to send a package to my parents!  It should take about a week to get to Germany.
Here's how the wedding Day went:
We started the day out by getting up very early to go to the marriage office at 8:45am or something.  The woman there was quite busy so it took a couple hours for her and Summer to fill out the paperwork and the marriage booklets.  When they were filled out, and the pictures attached, Summer and I each embossed our own booklet with the official seal.  Thereupon, we were legally married!
The Weather was very nice that day, still warm and very sunny.  Just the next day it rained and thereafter began getting very cold!   So it was wonderful providence to have such a nice sunny day for our wedding day!
After lunch, and a short nap/rest, I spent the rest of the afternoon right up until 5pm (the official starting time) organizing the prayers and sacred writings for people to read.  I'd been so busy I hadn't had time to get it done any earlier!  I wanted them to be on separate pieces of paper each, to make it easier for when it came time for them to be read, so I printed the English ones out from one of my computer Libraries ("Ocean", and photocopied the Chinese ones-although in the end, there were not so many good English speakers so mostly just the Chinese ones were used.  There were a few of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's quotes and also the Bahá'í marriage prayers.  My original idea was to read each quote or prayer in Chinese first and then in English but then that only ended being done with the first few.
I finished photocopying with only 20 minutes or so to spare, raced back to the apartment in Wu Lan Community, quickly dressed in my best Indian clothes-my wedding costume, as it were.  Grabbed a bunch of things that were for the wedding and got a taxi at the nearest Gate.  Luckily the restaurant was very close and it only took me 5 minutes-making me "only" 5 minutes late.  Many of the guests were already there, however, we were still waiting for 3 friends from Hohhot (capital of Inner Mongolia, 2 hours away), who took a bus because all the seats on the train were sold out.  And a few more of my Chinese friends.  We wanted this wedding to stay very small so I only invited my very closest Friends (a few were not able to come though, unfortunately).  I'll invite more of my friends to the big Chinese wedding on February 26th, 2005, which is a good date, number-wise for Chinese but also happens to be a great day for Bahá'ís being the first day of the Festival of Ayyam-i-Ha!
Soon after arriving, Summer pinned a groom's decorative flower on me, I the bride's flower on her and a father's flower on our "Baba" (father-in-law), and she a mother's flower on our "Mama" (my mother-in-law), all of which I'd just brought with me.  Then I put up a framed picture of "the Greatest Name", and a picture of the Bahá'í House of Worship for Asia, the "Lotus Temple" in New Delhi, and a picture of you.
While we were waiting for the last guests to arrive the reporter from the Baotou Evening Newspaper, who a reporter friend of mine had sent our way, arrived.  Since it would be good publicity for my business to have me in the papers the reporter's going to do a story on the Bahá'í Wedding.  (It hasn't come out yet, but I hope it won't be bad!)
After my friends from Hohhot and a few extra relatives had arrived we started the Bahá'í Ceremony.
First I passed out the readings, then I played a marriage prayer as a song on CD, then I remembered that we should explain what we were doing to the non-Bahá'ís in the audience!   Then we read the prayers and writings.  And when it came down to us we each said the Marriage vow, first Summer in Chinese, then I in English: "We will all, verily, abide by the Will of God."  And I think it was after that that we exchanged the rings.  A slight mishap was when I found, upon opening the box, that the tag was still tied to her ring!  But I got it off, after what seemed like years!  (However, we ended up getting a new ring for her later because that one ended up being a bit too big, although it fit fine in the shop because it was hot in there or something!)
After that we did some Chinese things like toasting the parents (with coke, in our wedding's case-since I don't drink alcohol) and calling them Baba and Mama for the first time (for me).  And giving them 3 bows.  And giving the "audience" 3 bows and then  something for their enjoyment: I carried Summer around a table-piggyback.  I wasn't expecting to be doing those things then since we'll be doing them again at the Big Chinese wedding.  But the stuff for her parents was good to already do then since it was the real marriage, after which we're now living together (The Chinese marriage is more of formality-for the benefit of the extended family).  Then I had a bit to eat, then I joined Summer who was then being interviewed for the Evening Newspaper, together with Qiu-a good friend, who is Brian's wife, who helped translate.  (Brian, who is also a good friend of ours, couldn't come, unfortunately, because he had a special "certified-family counselor training session" in Beijing.)  Then we toasted the guests at the different tables, saw friends off and took some group photos.  Then it was over and we went home.  Summer and I were so busy we didn't manage to eat much!  And the whole thing sort of went by in a daze!  We were very tired afterwards and on the way home!  That is, my new home (her old apartment).  We live there now since it's much cosier and cleaner and new-looking than what was my bachelor pad at Wu Lan.
