About:Ancient Chinese Marriage Custom

I recently visited China, (zhengzhou) where I had been emailing a lady a few months. She talked about marriage a lot, and even called me husband. She met me in Beijing and right off we ended up at the American Embassy, where I understood we were getting a marriage license and the ceremony would be later. we had a language problem, so when we arrived in Zhengzhou, she took me to a place to rent wedding things. I dissagreed and told her with a language translator, not to make any solid plans until I saw a lawyer to get a prenupual agreement. We then went to ma lawyers firm, but the price was too much. I then called my lawyer in USA, and he said not to marry until until I got back in USA, and a prenupual was signed. She claimed we were already married, and that Chinese customs a ceremony was not necessary. Is she right or wrong?

According to Chinese law, you are legally married when you obtain the marriage license. Your wife was telling the truth, ceremony is not necessary. You are now hitched... as it were.
