WEDDINGS IN CHINA

VIEWING WEDDING EXPERIENCES IN CHINA

I was privileged to witness a number of wedding scenes in various parts of China. Shanghai provided an interesting facet to marriage bliss as parents, and even grand-parents, advertised the virtues and "vital" statistics of their marriageable children in a public park. The engaged ladies wore beautiful gowns. Audi's and BMW's bedecked in flowers were immaculately presented. Naturally, the weather presented the intangible scenario with howling gales intermingled with tranquil serenity. May these couples enjoy perpetual bliss.


The Marriage Advertising Park in Shanghai.
                           
Advertisers, beside near or under umbrellas,
have written profiles of the intended.
Get me to the "Church" on time!
Occasionally it is speedier to sprint in bare feet!
The Shanghai Marriage Wagon awaits you, my dear!
Occasionally, a Suzhou Force 7 gale inhibits a jolly
good photo shoot!
Calmer photographic "studios" are
found in Tongli.
The Suzhou Marriage Audi Convoy awaits the Wedding Party!
Is our Floating Wedding Transport Motorised?
In Shanghai this is called
"Taking The Plunge"!
Tongli Marriage Chauffeurs only drive BMWs.

You are all invited to the Wedding Reception at the Astor,
as long as you provide plenty of R.M.B. (money) to the happy couple.

Many loopy and quirky marriage scenes are witnessed. Here, the photographer,
leaning through the sunroof, films the rear view of the wedding cortege!
