Ep. 49: Amy's 3-Day Wedding Celebration in Beijing | Amy的北京婚礼

In this episode, Meg and Amy dive deep into Amy’s journey to love, commitment, and celebration — from her engagement story to her beautifully unconventional 3-day wedding in Beijing.
Amy shares how she met her husband while studying abroad in Tel Aviv, their years navigating long-distance challenges, and her parents’ eventual acceptance of her cross-cultural relationship. She reflects on how her view of marriage evolved — from seeing it as a social contract to embracing it as a meaningful bond rooted in love, trust, and balance.
Amy takes you behind the scenes of Amy’s wedding weekend, a cross-cultural celebration that brought together friends and family from China, Japan, and the U.S. From courtyard dinners and photo booths to karaoke and high tea at the Summer Palace, Amy paints a vivid picture of what it means to create a wedding that feels personal, intentional, and deeply joyful.
Meg and Amy close the conversation by reflecting on their own wedding experiences — Meg’s intimate pandemic ceremony and Amy’s cross-cultural fusion — and discuss the evolving meaning of modern marriage in a world that values both individuality and togetherness.
在本期节目中，Meg 和 Amy 深入探讨了 Amy 从爱情、承诺到婚姻的旅程——从订婚故事到她那场在北京别具一格的三天婚礼。
Amy 分享了她在特拉维夫留学期间如何遇见丈夫的故事，他们短暂异地恋的挑战，以及她父母最终如何接受这段跨文化的感情。她回顾了自己对婚姻观念的转变——从最初将其视为一种社会契约，到如今将婚姻看作是建立在爱、信任与平衡之上的深刻的灵魂交流。
Amy 带领听众走进她婚礼庆典的幕后，这是一场融合了中、美、日三国亲友的跨文化盛会。从庭院晚宴、拍照留念到卡拉 OK 以及颐和园的下午茶，Amy 生动描绘了一个充满个人特色、用心设计、并洋溢着喜悦的她心目中的完美婚礼是什么样子。
节目最后，Meg 与 Amy 一同回顾了各自的婚礼经历——Meg 的疫情时期小型婚礼与 Amy 的跨文化融合庆典——并探讨了在当今重视个性与连结并行的世界中，“现代婚姻”的意义如何不断演变。
