Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi had planned a wedding long ago.
The two originally hoped for a simple, intimate small wedding, inviting only their closest relatives and friends for a modest celebration.
However, Gan Youwei and Wang Zhengmin from both families disagreed, insisting on a grand event, demanding a wedding in both San Francisco and Los Angeles Chinatown, making sure the entire Chinese world knew their basketball hero was getting married.
The ideas of Gan Youwei and Wang Zhengmin received support from relatives, as well as numerous well-known Chinese chambers of commerce and foundations, with preparations for Gan Guoyang's grand wedding starting in Chinatown since June.
Gan Guoyang had no choice; there were some things he just couldn't argue with his stubborn father about, so he had to agree with his thinking.
