  Hah! Which one?
  In this sentence, you don’t need to use “是”, you can just say “我的中文老师很漂亮！”.
  Examples: “我的学生很帅” “他很好”

    You of course! The others are not bad looking either (meaning they are also pretty)…

    Could I say ‘我要结婚我的中文老师’? 😉

    我要和我的中文老师结婚。

    I think Chinese works like Greek – and no other language I know. The direct transitive forms of marrying are gender specific:
    我以前想娶她, 可是她就不想嫁我了, 因此我永遠也不會跟她結婚。
    Furthermore, there exists a separate noun:
    而且, 我不想去她的婚姻。

Ok! It gets interesting to blend some of the concepts between the various daily vocabs!

    Yep. I am sure that the comments help other people too-but the comments I am making may become useful in the near future…

@ Angelos
I think you were trying to say “我不想去她的婚礼(I don’t want to go to her wedding)” right？

  對。那、婚姻是matrimony,不是wedding嗎？
  在婚姻裡需要誠信。可以嗎？
  
  @Mike: see how we all learn from your questions?

    Of course! I know some of my comments are odd, but since I am currently working on paperwork to teach in China, some of those phrases are going to be essential for me in daily conversation. Being able to talk about dating/wedding/other topics are just going to be a part of what I encounter while I am there.

    婚姻 is “Marriage”
    婚礼 is “Wedding”
    You can just say “婚姻需要誠信”
