Cathy and I met a few days after I first arrived in China. I was walking around the English academy which had  41 me, introducing myself to my new colleagues, most of  42  were Chinese. I entered Cathy’s   43  , saw her, and immediately felt some  44  and happy emotions(情感). She   45  so kind, yet professional. I couldn’t stop smiling like a(n)  46 . After introducing ourselves and exchanging  47  questions. I asked whether she knew anyone who could  48 me in Chinese. She said she could, and agreed to meet outside work.

We sometimes exchanged non-romantic texts in the evening. After a couple  49 , I invited her to my apartment. I was very nervous. Later, I asked if she would consider  50 me. She didn’t immediately  51 , but said she would tell me the next day. I found it very difficult to  52 , but wait I did.

This was a  53  difference. In American culture, starting to date someone is not a bit, important  54 ,but I think in Chinese culture it is. Well, she said “yes”, and so we spent lots of time together, and  55  love. I asked her to 56 me about 6 or 7 months later.

We had a Chinese style  57  in Cathy’s hometown. My parents came, and it was great. It went really  58 . Everyone was very  59  . It was a very fun and interesting  60 for me, very different from a Western style wedding.
