Sup guys, been coming to Chud for a long time, mostly in the video game forum but this post won't quite fit there. I just came back from a trip to visit my wife in China. The reason I say "visit" is because immigration laws in this country are so fucked up at this point that even though we got married in the US she still has to wait for 2 years in China to be able to immigrate here. But anyway that is a whole other story. We got married on May 18 of last year but didn't have a big wedding as we both had just graduated college and had no money. She had to go back to China in January, due to her J1 student visa expiring, and I just went to China to visit her at the end of April and first week of May. I gotta say, this being the first time out, it was great. Shanghai is a beautiful city to be in and if I didn't have bills to pay here, I would move over there in a second to live over there for 2 years while she waits to immigrate here. She can visit here but she can't immigrate here. She had a great accounting job over here and her firm is holding her job for her when she comes back. The only problem is when visits here, she cant legally work so she can't stay for long periods of time due to us basically being on one income while she is here.
But anyway, good news is we had our wedding pictures taken in Shanghai, outside in an outdoor movie studio where they film many chinese movies. The photographer who is a good friend of her family works for a chinese fashion magazine. I had to downsize the original photos because the raw ones were 3-4mb each. But still came out well. These aren't photoshopped, the studio is doing that for us now. Took about 12 hours to take all the photos, we had 3 outfits for outside photos and 3 outfits for inside photos. It would have taken about 5 hours but her change clothes and make up after each set was the time killer heh. She had her own make up artist that followed her around all day, so she was getting pampered heh.
