[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this sounds like what my SIL did, except she had the two weddings/receptions a couple of months apart, with the American one in the groom's family's city and the Asian one in her home city. It was expensive and exhausting for them, but very nice for everyone.[/quote]

OP.

We considered the option of splitting it up over 2 weekends about 1 month apart, but ultimately we decided that our current arrangement as I outlined previously is what works best for both families.

To the PP who said you're Chinese and married a white guy, did your white ILs give you gift of gold for the jewelry presentation at the tea ceremony? 
Also, did you opt for changing from the wedding dress to an evening dress at your western style reception? I'm torn on this one. 
2 reasons: 
1. Time consuming 
2. Another added expense to buy another dress in additional to the white gown and the chinese Qipao [/quote]

Wait, what, no one changes out of their wedding dress at their western ceremonies.  I'm a different PP, but hell, I wore my sari to my Christian ceremony b/c there was no way in hell I was spending a $1000 on a white dress I didn't even want!  But they were on the same day.[/quote]
