林丹謝杏芳“福地”完婚 兩人許下終生相伴宣言

23日晚間的北京工業大學體育館，中國“超級丹”林丹兌現了之前向外界的承諾，將一個自稱完美的婚禮獻給妻子謝杏芳，也將這場奪人眼球的婚宴慶典推向高潮。

Beijing (CNS) -- A wedding ceremony for China's two-time badminton Olympic champion Lin Dan and his former teammate Xie Xingfang was held Sunday at the stadium of Beijing University of Technology.

As the badminton court of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the stadium was Super Dan's "Lucky Place" where he won his first Olympic championship and began the peak of his career.

Lin has been in a romantic relationship with Xie, also a former world champion badminton player, since 2003. They registered to get married in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, on December 13, 2010.

At yesterday's wedding, a wall covered in 1,600 photos showed the history of the newlyweds.

Ten flower arranging technicians decorated the stadium at a cost of 200,000 yuan (US$32,000) each day, according to reports.

Born in 1983, Lin completed the "Super Grand Slam" by winning all nine major titles in world badminton at the age of 28. He also became the first men's singles player to retain the Olympic gold medal by winning in 2008 and defending the title in 2012.
